Previously, we proposed a "" model to explain how emotional memories could be preventing clients from adapting to the stressors of daily living, thus forming a barrier to learning, health and well-being. We suggested that these emotional memories were mental images stored inside the mind as 'emotional memory images' (EMIs).
To elaborate on the nature of these emotional memory images within the context of split-second learning and unlearning and the broader field of psychoanalysis, to initiate a conversation among scholars concerning the path that future healthcare research, practice, and policy should take.
A narrative review of the attributes of EMIs utilizing relevant and contentious research and/or scholarly publications on the topic, facilitated by observations and approaches used in clinical practice. Results: We propose a refined definition of EMIs as . The systematic appraisal of each attribute of an EMI supports the idea that the EMI is distinct from similar entities described in literature, enabling further sophistication of our Split-second Unlearning model of psychophysiological dis-ease.
Exploration of the concept of EMIs provides further insight on mechanisms associated with psychophysiological dis-ease and opportunities for therapeutic approaches.
此前，我们提出了一个“ ”模型，以解释情绪记忆如何阻碍客户适应日常生活中的压力源，从而对学习、健康和幸福构成障碍。我们认为，这些情绪记忆是作为“情绪记忆图像”（EMIs）存储在大脑中的心理图像。
在瞬间学习与忘却以及更广泛的精神分析领域的背景下，阐述这些情绪记忆图像的本质，引发学者们关于未来医疗保健研究、实践和政策应采取的路径的讨论。
通过对该主题的相关且有争议的研究和/或学术出版物进行叙述性综述，利用临床实践中的观察结果和方法来辅助。结果：我们提出了一个更精确的EMIs定义为 。对EMI每个属性的系统评估支持了这样一种观点，即EMI与文献中描述的类似实体不同，这使得我们的心理生理疾病瞬间忘却模型能够进一步完善。
对EMIs概念的探索为与心理生理疾病相关的机制以及治疗方法的机会提供了进一步的见解。
