I'm biased. I took imagery training with Marty Rossman some years ago and found him down to earth, honest and real, as well as one exceptional practitioner of therapeutic imagery. He writes well too. I came in primed to appreciate his work as I had developed my practice from some of the same sources as Rossman and found that he had done an excellent job of integrating a number of useful techniques and placing them in a good technical context.I have seen clients of mine use the techniques in this book to alter the course of chronic and painful conditions. I have had personal success using these techniques, too. For the years I was teaching Imagery workshops, this was the textbook I used. It generally got excellent feedback from the workshop participants.
