The technique of Free Visual Imagery Sequences was used with 32 outpatients, M age of 33.9, to determine the differences between Visual Imagery Reactors and Nonreactors as defined in previous studies. Reactors showed significantly more responses associated with Affect/Conflict material, frequently including bizarre and distorted images. The Affect/Conflict responses occurred earlier and had longer duration spans in Reactors. Neutral content was more prevalent in Nonreactors. An interpretive approach involving a regulatory processing system is proposed. Free Visual Imagery Sequences appears to be a simple and efficient clinical technique which can contribute data useful in determining the extent to which imagery techniques could be employed in certain forms of psychotherapy.
对32名门诊患者（平均年龄33.9岁）使用了自由视觉意象序列技术，以确定先前研究中定义的视觉意象反应者和无反应者之间的差异。反应者表现出与情感/冲突素材相关的显著更多反应，常常包括怪异和扭曲的图像。情感/冲突反应在反应者中出现得更早且持续时间更长。中性内容在无反应者中更为普遍。提出了一种涉及调节处理系统的解释方法。自由视觉意象序列似乎是一种简单有效的临床技术，它可以提供有助于确定意象技术在某些形式的心理治疗中可应用程度的数据。
