An Alternative to Thought Suppression?
Boice, Robert
American Psychologist, v67 n6 p498 Sep 2012
Comments on the original article, "Setting free the bears: Escape from thought suppression," by D. M. Wegner (see record 2011-25622-008). While Wegner supposed that we might have to learn to live with bad thoughts, the present author discusses the use of imagination and guided imagery as an alternative to forced thought suppression.
