Zusammenfassung: | Compared Behavior Therapy (BT), self‐relaxation (SR), transcendental meditation (TM), and a waiting‐list control group (WL) on measures of cardiovascular and subjective stress response.

The results indicate that BT and SR were more effective than either TM or WL in reducing cardiovascular stress response. These data were interpreted as resulting from therapeutic suggestion and positively reinforced client progress. |
