Abstract
Altered visual perceptions are not traditionally associated with therapists' work with clients. The first association might be with psychotropic drugs, or perhaps hallucination. Yet in the course of my work as a psychotherapist I have had such experiences within the therapy room and have come across a number of colleagues, sane and sober as far as I can tell, who have similar experiences. For some years I questioned the meaning of the experiences, without finding satisfactory answers. This prompted me to undertake a research study to explore the phenomena, and this article addresses some of my findings.
