title: Relaxation based treatment of stress induced syncope.
abstract: Treatment of stress induced syncope is described, using a relaxation based behavioral approach with a male client with a long history of syncope. The client learned to interrupt the presyncopal phase and thus to prevent syncope in stressful situations. The rationale for use of this new application of relaxation training is discussed.
