In a randomized controlled trial, the volunteers were submitted to sessions of muscle relaxation (autogenic method), progressive self-focus meditation, and cognitive-behavioral training in self-control of negatives feelings. They were also trained to determine goals and to determine each step to reach them (plan of action).The volunteers have to apply this strategy to control emotional behavior and improve interpersonal relationship.
