Abstract
To determine the effects of integrative relaxation training (IRT) on emotional stability, we exposed 32 patients diagnosed with anxiety disorder to a pre-test (16PF) and to 12 sessions of group psychoeducation training. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups (study 17 and control 15 patients). The study group received 12 weekly group sessions of IRT. Level of anxiety was evaluated ina post-test using a questionnaire and the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Emotional stability andlevel of anxiety were significantly reduced in the study group: there was a marked increase in scores foremotionally s and venturesome and a decrease in scores for apprehensive and tense. The STAI scorewas statistically significantly lower in the study group.
