- Abstract
This article focuses on Systems Releasing Action Therapy. Systems Releasing Action Therapy is a hybrid of several humanistic approaches. The goals of this therapy are to normalize the functioning of various autonomic systems and to reduce rapidly psychological and physiological symptoms related to anxiety or depression. An explanation of the theory of reducing constriction and normalizing systems was given to all members of the experimental and control groups before the start of the program. In the initial three or four sessions the therapists guided the subjects in the experimental group through stretching, loosening, and breathing exercises.
