The mental process of creating opposing images, scenarios, or imaginative concepts to contrast with an original vision.
From counter- (opposite) + imagination (from Latin 'imaginari,' meaning to imagine). A creative and psychological term for generating alternative mental representations.
Writers and architects use counterimagination all the time—imagining what NOT to do or what the opposite would look like actually makes better creative decisions!
