A form of rehearsal involves clients visualizing themselves undertaking an agreed-upon action step (Lazarus, 1984). Social workers may use visualization to identify clients' fears and to anticipate potential obstacles to successful action, as well as for the purpose of rehearsal. Once clients generate clear ideas (that is, mental pictures) about what needs to be done, the social worker may ask them to imagine overcoming obstacles and successfully completing the action step.
