| Abstract: | Evaluated the efficacy of E. Jacobson's (1943) progressive relaxation technique (JPR) and A. Broota's (in press) relaxation technique (BRT) with 30 depressed outpatients (aged 19-48 yrs) and a control group. Ss were assigned to a JPR group, a BRT group, or a no-treatment group. The 4 exercises of BRT were based on breathing, spine stretching, leg raising, and cycling; the JPR technique involved muscle relaxation. A symptom check list was administered twice, pre- and postrelaxation setting. Both relaxation techniques were found effective compared with the no-treatment group.
