A new method of psychotherapy, imagotherapy, is offered. This method consists in restoring the capacity of many neurotic and psychotic patients to enter into an image adequate tao a given situation. Training of this capacity is of a substantial importance for rehabilitation treatment. The treatment forms are: story telling by the patient in a group, a fixed dialogue, an improvised dialogue, a combination of story telling with a dialogue, dramatization of a story. The conclusive stage of the imagotherapeutic process is conducted in a therapeutic theatrical studio. The therapeutic mechanism of the imagotherapy is based on activation of the second signal system, the regulating influence of which on the higher psychic activity is disclosed chiefly by Soviet neurologists and psychologists.
