The rationale for doing that came from our knowledge and also our practice of working with patients with other psychological psychiatric disorders, where mental imagery can often characterize the problem and also provide clues to resolving it.
Ever wondered if your imagination could help curb addiction? In this episode of 'Addiction Audio', Dr. Rob Calder chats with Professor John Marsden about a fascinating study that explores just that. Professor Marsden dives into the world of mental imagery and its potential to reduce cocaine cravings. With no current pharmacological treatments for cocaine addiction, this innovative approach offers a glimmer of hope. The study reveals that positive mental imagery significantly outperforms negative imagery in lessening cravings.
Beyond the core findings, Professor Marsden highlights the value of mixed-methods research and the often overlooked importance of documenting data from unfinished trials. If you're curious about cutting-edge addiction research or looking for fresh perspectives on treatment methods, this episode is a must-listen.
