Abstract
Depressed patients complain of problems of memory and concentration, and it would be helpful to have a therapeutic procedure capable of reducing or alleviating these problems. The short-term effects of an imagery formation technique were compared with brief relaxation on a range of subjective and objective measures. Imagery formation substantially improved objective memory for a passage of prose, especially in nonendogenous depressives, though it had no comparable effects on subjective measures.
