چکیده
BIOFEEDBACK techniques are an effective way of controlling chronic anx iety without the aid of drugs. But just as effective. it seems, is learning how to relax. or simply sitting qu ietly in a room for 20 minutes each day. These surprising findings have emerged from a series of studies on anxiety conducted the Monash department of psychological ."edicine at Prince Henry's hospital by Dr John Tiller. research assistant Nola Biddle and sen ior technical officer, Suwan Opaskornkul. Taking part in the studies were people who had suffered from chron ic anxiety for many years in some cases more than 14 years. Most of them were taking anti-anxiety drugs at the time of interview. In the first of the 10-session studies, Tiller chose 59 people whose symptoms filled the criteria for long-standing generalised anxiety. They were div ided randomly into three groups . The first group were measured for physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as heart rate, forehead muscle tension, skin temperature and skin perspiration level, and were then trained in biofeedback techniques.
