Berikut merupakan satu petikan yang aku ambil dari buku Psycho-Cybernetics tulisan Dr. Maxwell Maltz, dalam bab Imagination-The First Key!
This same creative mechanism within you can help you achieve your best possible "self" if you will form a picture in your imagination of the self you wanted to be and "see yourself" in the new role. Before a person can change, he must "see" himself in a new role.
Edward McGoldrick uses this technique in helping alcoholics cross the "bridge" from the old self to the new self. Each day, he has his "students" close their eyes, relax the body as much as possible, and create a "mental motion picture" of themselves as they would like to be. In this mental motion picture, they see themselves as sober, responsible persons. They see themselves actually enjoying life without liquor.
This is not the only technique used by McGoldrick, but it is one of the basic methods used at "Bridge House" which has a higher record of cure for alcoholics than any other organization in the country.
A couple of years ago, an example of using mental picturing proved something spectacular:
San Francisco. Some mental patients can improve their lot and perhaps shorten their stay in hospitals just by imagining they are normal, two psychologists with the Veteran Administration at Los Angeles reported.
"Dr. Harry M. Grayson and Dr. Leonard B. Olinger told the American Psychological Assn. they tried the idea on 45 men hospitalized as neuropsychiatrics.
The patients first were given the usual personality test. Then they were asked flatly to take the test a second time and answer the questions as they would if they were 'a typical, well-adjusted person on the outside'.
Three-fourths of them turned in improved test performances and some of the changes for the better were dramatic, the psychologists reported.
In order for these patients to answer the questions 'as a typical, well-adjusted person' would answer, they had to imagine how a typical, well-adjusted person would act. They had to imagine themselves in the role of a well-adjusted person. And this in itself was enough to cause them to begin 'acting-like' and 'feeling-like' a well-adjusted person.
