Biography
Psychotherapist, author and guided imagery
innovator Belleruth Naparstek, LISW, BCD, has practiced psychotherapy for over
30 years. She is best known as the creator of the popular, 52-title Time Warner
Health Journeys guided imagery audio series. Naparstek?s first book, Staying
Well with Guided Imagery, (Warner Books) continues to be a widely used primer
for medical professionals and health consumers. Her second book, Your Sixth
Sense, (Harper San Francisco) has been translated into 8 languages and has been
called one of the more thoughtful and sophisticated looks at intuition. Her new
book on imagery and posttraumatic stress (Bantam Dell) is due out in Fall of
2004.
She has helped to make guided imagery part of mainstream healthcare by
persuading traditional healthcare organizations such as Aetna U.S. Healthcare,
the U.S. Veterans Administration, GlaxoSmithKline,The American Red Cross, Blue
Shield of California, Ortho Biotech, Roche, Medical Mutual of Ohio, Amgen,
Kaiser Permanente, and nearly 2000 hospitals, clinics, spas and hospices to
distribute her guided imagery recordings, in many instances free of charge.
A warm, dynamic and compelling speaker, Naparstek has lectured across the
country and around the world, training thousands of health professionals,
corporate leaders, counselors, performing artists and health consumers in the
use of her powerful, ground-breaking guided imagery techniques.
Her imagery has been involved in 24 clinical trials, with over a half dozen
studies completed to date. Efficacy has been established for several
psychological and medical conditions.
Naparstek received both undergraduate and graduate degrees from the
University of Chicago. For years she taught graduate students at Case Western
Reserve University's Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences. She lives in
Cleveland with her family.
