Not enthused with this article title, but it's what MeSH uses

I'll create redirects such as guided imagery and guided meditation. My intention, in creating this article, was its use in pain management, which is only alluded to in the MeSH definition ("cope with other diseases").

For the moment, I'm not going to fill in a Definition subpage, as I want to think further about the Definition perhaps overcoming some of the MeSH faults. Of course, the main page would also need to be extended. Howard C. Berkowitz 15:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
