Dr. Akhter Ahsen, the internationally known clinician researcher and lecturer on mental imagery in the field of psychology has discovered the method which will return a child to their original capacity to learn. He is director of research and training of the Image Institute in Yonkers, New York, the founding chairman of the International Imagery Association and the editor of the Prestigious Journal of Mental Imagery and has authored over 20 books as well as numerous articles. Ahsen's treatment uses a special system he originated called Eidetics. Eidetics work with eidetic images as tools to uncover a person's learning potential.
Eidetic images are like snapshots of a person's experiences which are stored in the brain.
The snapshots which inhibit learning are removed and those that facilitate it are found and enhanced. GIM is a unique and exciting therapeutic process that combines the inherent structure, movement and spirit of music with an individual's own creative process of imagery. GIM is a dynamic and depth-oriented process. With the support and guidance of a trained GIM therapist, individuals learn to use their internal imagery to define, explore and fulfill themselves in a healthy, caring way. Thoughts, feelings, memories, fantasies, personal and transpersonal relationships are experienced and expressed.
