Behavioral Treatment of Psychophysical Disorders

The behavioral treatment of psychophysiological disorders is reviewed with an emphasis on group outcome research and controlled, comparative group outcome studies. These behavioral treatments tend to fall into three categories: (I) biofeed-back training; (2) relaxation training; and (3) other behavioral techniques including assertiveness training and systematic desensitization.

Guided by two inclusion criteria-seriousness as defined in terms of prevalence and mortality and the existence of a large body of research-this review discusses the following disorders: essential hypertensions, migraine headaches, muscle contraction headaches, asthma, ulcers, and colitis.
