The increasing interest in mental imagery began when the
hold of behaviorism weakened and psychologists began to explore
the neglected mental processes covered in studies of imagery and
imagination. The Journal of Mental Imagery has found its
place in providing a vehicle for meeting this growing interest.
Edited as it is by Akhter Ahsen, a psychologist himself active
as a clinician, experimentalist and theoretician, its pages are
full of new evidence and new applications arising out of the increased
attention to imagery and its manifestations.
The Journals appeal to audiences representing a wide
spectrum should make it find its place in libraries of professionals
in psychology and psychiatry and others who have curiosity for
the mind, its operations and its potential achievements.
