Abstract
This study, presenting follow-up data over a six-month period, continues a previous investigation (Friedman & Taub, 1977) which dealt with the effects of three procedures, hypnosis alone (HO), biofeedback alone (BO), and hypnosis and biofeedback combined (HB) upon essential hypertensive patients during a training period and brief follow-up. Although both HO and BO were capable of producing decrements in blood pressure, the former, HO, appeared somewhat more effective. The HB procedure continued to offer no advantage over the control “measurement only” (MO) group.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
