Product Description
'A fascinating and thorough introduction to Autogenic Therapy. I cannot praise the book highly enough' Leslie Kenton Autogenic Therapy is a method of quick and easy mental exercises which bring about a state of deep relaxation and mental calming. This simple form of self-help can have very powerful effects. We all have innate and largely untapped powers of self-healing available to us. These are efficient processes that can be accessed by AT to help handle the normal stresses and strains of life. AT is also used to treat physical and emotional symptoms of stress and for illnesses exacerbated by stress. AT is a skill for life which primarily improves our physical and mental well-being. It also enables us to develop our potential for personal growth, creativity and spirituality. Learning the techniques of AT requires the guidance of a qualified therapist who can monitor and support the initial re-balancing process. This book describes the techniques of AT and explains the role of the therapist and the trainee. It is not a teach-yourself manual but an introduction to the theories and techniques, and a supportive companion when learning AT and when using it later on. It is essentially a book about using a proven technique to optimise our physical and psychological health and well-being.

Utterly unhelpful! May 10, 2006

I have been studying autogenic training for years using German resources and got this book for my husband. Upon looking through this book, I was utterly disappointed. It contains a lot of psycho babel but no instructions and on top of it, it is badly written. If you want to learn AT this book is not going to teach you how, you will need a therapists, in which case you don't need the book. Not only is it unhelpful, it also does not describe the original autogenic therapy as developed by Schultz, but some personal variation by the authors. I have read a lot of books on AT in German and studied with a trained professional and quite a bit of the stuff in this book would be considered counter productive by all I know. Unfortunately I'm unable to suggest any other book in English to learn AT (but don't buy this book because of a lack of alternatives), which is a great technique for relaxation.
