'''Autogenic training''' is a relaxation technique first published by the German and Nazi psychiatrist [[Johannes Heinrich Schultz]] in 1932. The technique involves repetitions of a set of visualisations accompanied by vocal suggestions that induce a state of [[Relaxation (psychology)|relaxation]] and is based on passive concentration of bodily perceptions like heaviness and warmth of limbs, which are facilitated by self-suggestions.<ref name="Stetter">{{Cite journal |last1=Stetter |first1=Friedhelm |last2=Kupper |first2=Sirko |date=2002-03-01 |title=Autogenic Training: A Meta-Analysis of Clinical Outcome Studies |journal=Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback |language=en |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=45–98 |doi=10.1023/a:1014576505223 |issn=1090-0586 |pmid=12001885 |s2cid=22876957}}</ref><ref name=Barlow>{{Cite book|title=Principles and practice of stress management|date=2007|publisher=Guilford Press|others=Lehrer, Paul M., Woolfolk, Robert L., Sime, Wesley E.|isbn=9781606230008|edition=3rd|location=New York|oclc=144770991}}</ref> Autogenic training is used to alleviate many [[stress (medicine)|stress]]-induced [[psychosomatic]] disorders.<ref name=Barlow />
