“…IR has also been found effective for PE non-responders (Grunert et al 2007 ) . A recent experimental study using a trauma analogue paradigm (Hagenaars and Arntz 2012 ) found that IR was more effective in reducing the frequency of intrusions than positive imagery and PE and was experienced as less distressing than PE.…”

This chapter aims to provide an update on the relation between mental imagery and psychopathology, with particular reference to post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar affective disorder. Current evidence is provided to give an overview of the strengths and limitations of existing cognitive behavioural therapies for these two psychological disorders. Clinical vignettes are used to illustrate how imagery interventions may be incorporated into cognitive behavioural therapy to enrich the array of treatment strategies and possibly enhance its ef fi cacy.

“…As noted previously, some protocols focus on specific trauma-related themes that are identified in the nightmares or emphasized in traumafocused treatments (Davis and Wright [55], Swanson et al [61]). The imagery rescripting and rehearsal procedures used to treat nightmares share some similarities with imagery rescripting and reprocessing treatments for trauma-related intrusive memories, and imagery rescripting and reprocessing is generally viewed as an imagerybased cognitive therapy (Grunert et al [62], Smucker and Niederee [63]). …”

Abstract-Sleep disturbances are among the most commonly reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. It is essential to conduct a careful assessment of the presenting sleep disturbance to select the optimal available treatment. Cognitivebehavioral therapies (CBTs) are at least as effective as pharmacologic treatment in the short-term and more enduring in their beneficial effects. Cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia and imagery rehearsal therapy have been developed to specifically treat insomnia and nightmares and offer promise for more effective relief of these very distressing symptoms. Pharmacotherapy continues to be an important treatment choice for PTSD sleep disturbances as an adjunct to CBT, when CBT is ineffective or not available, or when the patient declines CBT. Great need exists for more investigation into the effectiveness of specific pharmacologic agents for PTSD sleep disturbances and the dissemination of the findings to prescribers. The studies of prazosin and the findings of its effectiveness for PTSD sleep disturbance are examples of studies of pharmacologic agents needed in this area. Despite the progress made in developing more specific treatments for sleep disturbances in PTSD, insomnia and nightmares may not fully resolve.

“…A study utilizing a group of patients with PTSD who had not responded to prolonged exposure therapy found that most (18/23) achieved recovery following imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy (a form of cognitive restructuring therapy). 44 The authors of the study suggest that cognitive restructuring therapy may be more efficacious in patients whose predominant…”

Figure 1. Two recent survey studies of military personnel following deployment indicate that combat-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with increased incidence of PTSD. 1,2Figure 2. A recent study in identical twins discordant for PTSD reported PTSD-related reductions in gray matter density in the hippocampus (not shown) and several areas of the cortex (pink).3 Both pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (left) and insula (middle) contribute to limbic-related functions.Cover and Figure 3. The influence of TBI location on the development of PTSD is a relatively unexplored area. Interestingly, the few studies that are available agree that TBI involving areas within prefrontal cortex are associated with decreased probability of developing PTSD for both children and adults. A recent study of Vietnam veterans with combat-related penetrating head injuries reported that injury to ventromedial prefrontal and anterior temporal cortices was associated with a lower probability of developing PTSD (left panel). 4 The color-code at the bottom indicates the likelihood of developing PTSD if there is injury to the areas, with larger negative numbers (blue) associated with lower occurrence of PTSD. Note that PTSD was unlikely to develop in veterans with injury to the central white matter of the prefrontal cortex. The studies in children followed a cohort after severe closed head injury. 5,6 One study reported an inverse relationship between lesion burden in the medial frontal gyrus (right, blue) and meeting diagnostic criteria for PTSD. 5 The other reported an inverse relationship between lesion burden in the orbitofrontal cortex (right, purple) and probability of developing PTSD.
