“…A 12-min compilation of ‘Salò, or the 12 Days of Sodom’ (Pasolini, 1975) served as aversive film clip. During fear conditioning, a 3-s film fragment (of a human scream) from the aversive film served as UCS.…”

Imagery rescripting (IR) is a promising treatment for a variety of disorders, but its working mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate the associative and evaluative learning processes underlying IR, we exposed participants to an aversive film clip followed by an instructed fear-conditioning procedure. The acquired fear memory was subsequently manipulated by either rescripting-(IR) or exposure-based (imaginal exposure; IE) interventions and their effects were examined on subjective and psychophysiological fear responses in three successive studies. Though the interpretation of the results was challenged with respect to the employed analogue IR intervention (Exp 1) and unexpected findings in the control condition (Exp 3), the present results establish preliminary evidence for the hypothesis that IR produces differential effects on fear responding when compared to IE. For example, in line with stimulus devaluation theory, IR effectively reduced subjective distress to the conditioned stimulus (Exp 2). Also, IR resulted in decreased physiological fear responses after fear reinstatement (Exp 3). The findings advance our general understanding of the processes involved in IR and they tentatively indicate that rescripting-and exposure-based treatments may work through different mechanisms. Moreover, this line of research demonstrates the challenges encountered when working with analogue models to test mechanisms of therapeutic change.

“…To begin, we can here compare Valentine's vomit-eating scenes with various shiteating sequences peppered throughout Sweet Movie (Dušan Makavejev, 1974), Salò (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1975), The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover (Peter Greenaway, 1989), The Human Centipede trilogy (Tom Six, 2009 and the aforementioned post-cinematic viral 'shock-video' 2 Girls 1 Cup (2007). On arriving at these scatological considerations, we might concede that if at the level of bio-aesthetic affect these disgusting and shocking coprophagic sequences elicit comparable embodied auto-affective reactions as Valentine's images of vomit chugging, my gut feeling remains that a clear schism opens up when we consider the divergent symbolic or representational meanings associated with the appearance and consumption of faeces and vomit.…”
