The current book presents select proceedings from the Eleventh
Annual Conference of AASMI (The American Association for the Study
of Mental Imagery) in Washington, DC, 1989, and from the Twelfth
Annual Conference of AASMI in Lowell and Boston, MA, 1990. This
presentation of keynote addresses, research papers, and clinical
workshops reflects a broad range of theoretical positions and a
diverse repertoire of methodological approaches. Within this
breadth and diversity, however, four aspects of the nature of
imagery stand out: its mental nature, its private nature, its
conscious nature, and its symbolic nature. The mental nature of
imagery--i.e., its epistemological aspect--is explored in the
book's first section of articles by Marcia Johnson, Laura
Snodgrass, Leonard Giambra and Alicia Grodsky, Vija Lusebrink,
Selina Kassels, Helane Rosenberg and Yakov Epstein, M. Elizabeth
D'Zamko and Lynne Schwab, and Laurence Martel. These first eight
articles fall, essentially, into various domains of cognitive
psychology, including the psychology of art and educational
psychology. In the second section, the private nature of imagery is
studied by Ernest Hartmann, Nicholas Spanos, Benjamin Wallace,
Deirdre Barrett, John Connolly, James Honeycutt, Dominique Gendrin,
and James Honeycutt and J. Michael Gotcher. These studies, which
fall within the realm of personality and social psychology, bring
to light the fact that many very public interpersonal behaviors
reflect very private images. Such behaviors range from
interpersonal rapport with a hypnotist, to rapport with a forensic
jury.
