Answer to Question 2
In behavioral medicine applications, guided imagery is sometimes used to help medical patients reduce pain, enhance health-related quality of life, or attempt to strengthen their immune systems and promote healing. For example, King (2010) concluded from her review of the relevant literature of cancer patients with pain, that there is evidence that guided imagery has potential as an adjunct to traditional treatments in reducing cancer-related pain. However, she notes that the research in the area is limited, has small sample sizes, and is generally low in methodological quality.
