Interactive guided imagery with oncology patients. A case illustration.

The technique of interactive guided imagery has numerous applications in the practice of oncology nursing: relaxation, pain and symptom management, grief work, and helping patients discern meaning in their illness experience, to name a few. The technique is described according to the theoretical framework presented by Roberto Assagioli. A case illustration demonstrates the application of the technique and is processed for its implications for nursing practice. A description of an in-service series for staff nurses interested in learning guided imagery is presented.

Guided imagery: healing when curing is out of the question.

People who suffer loss due to disease, altered body image, or the threat of death struggle to find meaning in their experience. While healthcare providers scurry about trying to find the right combination of chemotherapeutic agents, these individuals are often left alone to struggle with a sense of despair. Using a clinical vignette, the author describes how guided imagery may be used by the nurse therapist to bring healing to a client even when curing may be out of the question.
