The application of behavior therapy to the treatment of psychosomatic disorders: Retrospect and prospect.

Trait levels of anxiety and psychological responses to stress in migraineurs and normal controls

“…As has been pointed out elsewhere (Meares, 1975;Price, 1974), the inhibition of emotional expression may not be unique to migraine headache sufferers, but may be common t o other groups as well. For example, in a study not unlike this one, hypertensive Ss shown videotapes of patient-doctor interactions denied any unpleasant attributes of the interaction, as opposed to normal controls who responded appropriately to the videotapes designed to show a rude and unfriendly interview (Sapira, Scheib, Moriarty, & Shapiro, 1971).…”

“…Support for this notion can be found in the treatment studies of Mitchell and his colleagues (cf. Price, 1974), who found that training in assertiveness reduced headache suffering in migraineurs.…”

The role of relaxation in biofeedback training: A critical review of the literature.

“…The results of the Sargent et al studies were generally positive and therefore promising, but Price (1974) has pointed out that their experimental methodology was inadequate (i.e., no control groups, unsystematic collection of baseline data, and no statistical treatment of the data) and that sounder research is indicated.…”

Computers in biofeedback research and therapy

“…And (4) biofeedback operators may need to be experienced in psychotherapy in order to better help clients to cope with symptoms, to understand the role of the symptoms in their lives, and to become aware of how symptom changes may affect other aspects of their lives.

While we acknowledge the importance of person variables in the biofeedback process, discussion of these variables is limited in favor of technological and methodological issues of biofeedback systems.…”
