  Two much older (dating from the 50's and 60's) books which cover these topics under the general banner of psychology are *Psychology in Chess* by Nicolai Krogius and *The Chess Mind* by Gerald Abrahams.
  
  Recognising that imagination can have its down side, Abrahams has a chapter in his book called "*Imagination: Its Use and Abuse*".
