Behavioral Relaxation Training and Behavioral Relaxation Assessment

Relaxation training has been excellent intervention for anxiety, stress, pain, and so on. Though multiple relaxation training methods has been developed [e.g. Progressive Muscle Relaxation training(PMR), Autogenic Training(AT), Breating, Imagery, Hypnosis, Meditation, Biofeedback, Behavioral Relaxation Training], Behavioral Relaxation Training(BRT) has several features that may make it preferable to other training methods. BRT consists of 10 overt postures and behaviors characteristic of someone who is relaxed. Assessment of relaxed behavior is done using the Behavioral Relaxation Scale(BRS), a direct observation mesure of relaxed behavior. The BRS proved useful in measuring relaxation acquisition and maintenance. BRT and BRS are to stimulate further research on assessment of relaxation, especially “the nature of relaxation state” and to aid in the development of more effective training methods. In this article, multiple relaxation training methods, Behavioral Relaxation Training, Behavioral Relaxation Assessment procedure, application of Behavioral Relaxation Training, and conclusion and future directions in BRT & BRS were reviewed.
