["Functional relaxation" as a method in anthropologic medicine].
"Funktionelle Entspannung" (F.E.)--functional relaxation--according to M. Fuchs resumes Weizsäcker's "Gestaltkreis". Its medium is the body (comprising body, soul and mind) and its "rhythm", which penetrates and supports the individual human sphere. Somebody who is in agreement with his own body is also in agreement with the world around him; somebody who sets up tensions between the world and himself loses his personal rhythm. This becomes obvious in the "body-language" in the form of false tensions. In the F. E. these are not approached in a verbal way or by way of set exercises, but in each case individually--beginning at the spine and the joints and then continuing with the inner cavities and spaces. Approach and method of the F. E. are exemplified (e. g. hypertonie, asthma bronchiale, where other psychotherapeutic methods--psychoanalysis, autogenes training etc.--did not help).
