The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the effects of certain antianxiety agents, that is, minor tranquilizers, sedatives, and hypnotics, on relaxation training. Twelve inpatients and two outpatients were referred to group relaxation training because of tension-anxiety complaints and underwent three training sessions. Results for those patients who were not having any psychotropic medication (Relaxation Only group) were compared with results for those who were receiving anxiolytic drugs (Medication-Relaxation group). Patients in the second group were on antianxiety medication prior to and during relaxation training. Self-report measures indicate that the Relaxation Only group benefited more from relaxation training and showed more treatment generalization effects. The results are interpreted as lending some support to the view that antianxiety drugs may have an interfering effect on relaxation training. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
这项初步研究的目的是调查某些抗焦虑药物，即弱安定剂、镇静剂和催眠药，对放松训练的影响。12名住院患者和2名门诊患者因紧张焦虑症状被转介接受团体放松训练，并接受了三次训练课程。将那些未服用任何精神药物的患者（仅放松组）的结果与那些正在接受抗焦虑药物治疗的患者（药物 - 放松组）的结果进行比较。第二组患者在放松训练之前和期间都在服用抗焦虑药物。自我报告测量表明，仅放松组从放松训练中获益更多，并且显示出更多的治疗泛化效果。这些结果被解释为对以下观点提供了一些支持，即抗焦虑药物可能对放松训练有干扰作用。讨论了该研究的意义和局限性。
