title: Relaxation training side effects reported by seriously disturbed inpatients.
abstract: The extent to which seriously disturbed inpatients report side effects related to passive and progressive relaxation training was examined. Most reported few side effects; only 1 of 64 subjects was removed because of a negative reaction to training. There was no significant difference in side effects reported in response to the two training procedures. Comparisons were made with data from a survey of therapists who practice relaxation training.
