The "Guided Imagery for Groups" has provided some wonderful readings for me while my class is in Savasana (corpse pose or final relaxation). Last week I read the "Picture" (page 104) where I had my students visualize a scene and then enter it. They all said it was the best one yet; visualizations are becoming their favorites for Savasana. The book is divided into scripts for calming, centering, creativity, congruence, clarity, coping and connectedness. This makes it easy for me to choose an appropriate reading. Each script also indicates the time required to read it; I can fit the script to the time I have left at the end of our practice. There are four introductory chapters with basic information for presentation and two scripts for preparation.

This book is an essential and beneficial addition to the shelf of any trainer, therapist or individual dealing with a tense situation or loss. Andrew Schwartz's Guided Imagery for Groups includes fifty scripts for relaxation. There are also comprehensive explanations of both relaxation and guided imagery basics and the role of a guided imagery facilitator is well explained. Schwartz also offers techniques for practicing visualization sessions which can be modified for individual use. Each script has an easy-to-follow formula which outlines the goal of the imagery, the length of the exercise, suggestions for the best audience and necessary materials. Optional group processing activities further enhance the visualization techniques described within the book. As someone with relatively little experience with training techniques, I found the author's style to be clear and thorough. This manual is an excellent resource for anyone looking to diversify his or her presentation style.
