Abstract
In this article, the authors present guided imagery as a technique for use in teaching counselor trainees how to use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5) in a way that is sensitive to contextual issues and counselors’ personal biases. Specific guided imagery activities and scripts that can be used in teaching DSM-5-related concepts are provided. Guided imagery can facilitate the development of counseling students’ skills in the areas of case conceptualization, cultural empathy, self-awareness, and objective diagnostic decision making. Guided imagery scripts can enhance counselor trainees’ multicultural competencies as related to the diagnostic process. Practical considerations related to using the technique are provided.This column is designed to underscore relationally-based creative teaching practices used by counselor educators in the classroom. Our intention is to provide examples of novel, innovative ways for counselor educators and students to deepen their learning while colloborating toward a spirit of connection and cooperation. If you have implemented a creative teaching method, or if you have adapted an existing method that you would like to share with readers, please follow submission guidelines in the author information packet available at http://www.creativecounselor.org/Journal.html.
