Our study was designed to investigate the therapeutic process caused by autogenic training in a differentiated and continous manner. Ss had to estimate their physical and mental relaxation during and beyond exercise in each of the 19 course-sessions. Their somatic and mental well-being before and after therapy was compared to a non-treated control-group. We found that improvement first occured at the physical level. Deep relaxation was first established during exercise and then transferred to the extra-therapeutic situation in the same succession. Physical and mental well-being improved clearly due to therapy. Though physical effects showed up earlier mental improvement were more pronounced at the end of therapy. We concluded, that an autogenic training course should comprise at least 13 sessions in order to come to a stabilization of therapeutic effects.
我们的研究旨在以一种有区分且连续的方式来调查自生训练所引发的治疗过程。受试者必须在19个疗程中的每个疗程期间及疗程之外估计自身的身心放松程度。将他们在治疗前后的身心健康状况与未接受治疗的对照组进行比较。我们发现改善首先出现在身体层面。深度放松首先在训练期间得以确立，然后以相同的顺序转移到治疗之外的情境中。治疗显著改善了身心健康。尽管身体效应出现得更早，但心理改善在治疗结束时更为明显。我们得出结论，自生训练课程至少应包含13个疗程，以便使治疗效果得以稳定。
