Extract

Deep muscular relaxation is an active component of systematic desensitization therapy. Most behaviour therapists induce relaxation in their patients by an abbreviated version of a technique originally described by Jacobson (4) called progressive relaxation. This report concerns a new way to facilitate deep muscular relaxation which is efficient, reliable and convenient.
