Eclectic relaxation therapy. 1976

E C Evans

This paper introduces a new method that is designed to facilitate muscular relaxation, enhance direct sensory reality and increase self-control over mental processes. The procedure consists of six sessions and requires minimal therapist involvement, the therapy being presented in a group setting by tape recordings. The advantages of this technique are suggested and the principles used in its construction are defined.
