This system is the result of different studies that we have conducted at the Roosevelt University in Chicago under the direction of Jonathan C. Smith. As with stress, relaxation results to be a multidimensional phenomenon composed of physiological, emotional and cognitive dimensions or factors. Besides, there are differential effects among different relaxation techniques in these factors. Finally, some of the implications for therapy are discussed.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
