Progressive Relaxation Training by Holly Hazlett-Stevens

Progressive Relaxation Training by Holly Hazlett-Stevens

Offers comprehensive guidance for practitioners, students, and researchers in psychology, psychiatry, and counseling to teach relaxation to clients. Two clinical psychologists widely known for their writings on relaxation present state-of-the-art methods for teaching clients to ease muscle and mind tension to deal with stress and anxiety disorders, as well as other conditions where stress and anxiety play a role. Bernstein and Hazlett-Stevens explain who the targets for Progressive Relaxation Training (PRT) are; the rationale, basic procedures, and variations of PRT; the setting and possible problems and solutions of PRT; and how to assess a client's progress. They also address hypnosis, drugs, and PRT, as well as PRT used in a mindfulness-based clinical practice. Case studies and evaluative research in PRT are also included. Students and practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, and counseling will find this work of interest. This book may also be useful supplemental reading for behavior modification courses and practicum courses in behavior therapy.

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 *
