Reviews

Take the stress out of relaxation training! This book skillfully lays out the theory and research backing Progressive Relaxation Training and provides clear and detailed guidance on how to integrate relaxation training into your practice. It stands out for the ways it helps readers understand the physiology of relaxation and its many valuable clinical applications. * Bethany Teachman, Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, University of Virginia * This book is the definitive resource on progressive relaxation. It is exceptionally practical and rooted in the latest scientific evidence. Given how often progressive relaxation training is misunderstood and misused by practitioners, this book should be essential reading for anyone learning behavioral treatments, as well as for seasoned professionals who study and treat anxiety and stress-related problems. Highly recommended! * Martin M. Antony, Professor, Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, and coauthor of The Anti-Anxiety Program, Second Edition *
