Book DescriptionBased on a newly revised theory of relaxation (ABC2 Relaxation Theory) devised by the author, this book explains why hundreds of techniques used by professionals typically sort into six groups.

Special applications are also included: relaxation with children; relaxation and pain management; and relaxation, spirituality, and religion.
