Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Therapy methods using mental space representations have a long history. The program of mental space psychology (MSP) has recently shifted them into focus. Objectives: The objective of this article is to review clinical experiments in mental space and discuss the neuroscientific background. Methods: The concepts of mental space psychology are being introduced and clinical experiments in mental space are being reviewed. A review of the literature about the neural background is provided. Results: Clinical experiments in mental space show promising results for a variety of psychological problems. A review of the literature on the neural background shows a number of neuroscientific studies supporting the assumptions by mental space psychology. Conclusions: Clinical experiments in mental space can be connected to a lot of existing knowledge about neural processing.
