Abstract

I have been much interested in the reasons why dropouts actually arise even in the fairly early stage of introducing Autogenic Training (AT) to the clients. The causes can be broadly divided into two; the ways for applying AT, and implementation techniques as well as the processes leading to them. Simple and negative sentiments about adopting AT seem to increase when the following things are not clear; what the components of AT are, how the clients were motivated, and what the therapists expected before carrying it out. That is because they fail to judge what type of clients will have more effect, or what part of instruction needs devising. It is also essential to clarify whether or not the clients themselves acknowledge the need of AT and appreciate it after they have some improvement of symptoms. In order for AT to make further progress and to be more devised, all the above should be evaluated and reported specifically in organizing the material for research or the case report. It is thought of as being analogous to the prescription of drugs. The report about the patients' complaint, their lifestyle, criterion to choose the drug, goal of treatment with it, drug dosage, duration of drug exposure, and effect of treatment makes clinical application easier. The same seems to hold for AT. In terms of the implementation techniques and training methods, so many ones of Passive concentration have been developed so far, but in this article I adopted major ones.
