Abstract
Since Freud’s initial discoveries about the treatment of anxiety, techniques to control behavior have been developed in an astonishing number of areas of human activity. As a result, practitioners of psychology are experiencing a golden age. Their services and advice are sought and accepted in practically all fields of human activity. Newspapers describe the activities and opinions of psychologists on marriage, love, child rearing, and other aspects of day-to-day life. In the fields of marketing, personnel, training, selection, and more, executives rely on the advice and opinions of consulting psychologists.
The “Relax and Learn System” uses the psychological technique of Multisensory Emotional Therapy in order to change a patient’s thinking, , and behaviors. You can begin treating your patients immediately using this innovative and proven effective technique…. This system includes an IBM compatible computer with the appropriate video boards, one 20 mg hard disk with “Relax and Learn” software already installed,one floppy disk drive, and an excellent special monitor with speakers. This approach is not only cost effective for the patient, but… is also cost effective for the psychologist as well. Since this technique does not require him to spend the entire therapeutic hour with these patients, it is an excellent way to expand his practice without increasing his overhead significantly, as well as increasing his cost effectiveness.
