摘要：The importance of mental imagery for psychopathology has been increasingly recognised in the past decade. Vivid intrusive images have long been considered a central feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). However, in the last decade studies have illuminated that imagery may also be key in a wide range of other psychiatric disorder including agoraphobia (Day, HolmesandHackmann, 2004), social phobia (Hirsch, Clark, Mathews,andWilliams, 2003), simple phobia (Pratt, Cooper,andHackmann, 2004), depression (ReynoldsandBrewin, 1998; WilliamsandMoulds, 2008), bipolar disorder (Hales, Deeprose, Goodwin,andHolmes, 2011), schizophrenia (Oertel et al., 2009), and so forth. This editorial aims to place the special issue in the wider context of imagery and psychopathology research, drawing in particular on examples from our own research programs and that of the authors in this special issue.
