Albert Ellis (2000) dimostra con due volontari. La prima volontaria è arrabbiata e intimidita dai suoi supervisori. Umorismo e immagini sono incorporati. La seconda volontaria sente il bisogno di controllare gli altri ed è arrabbiata quando non può. Ellis usa le immagini per correggere i modelli cognitivi e produrre un cambiamento emotivo.
