Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychology of Relaxation
Impressed with the strenuous character of American life and the need of more rest and recreation, practical common sense, not waiting upon theory, has turned to dis cover means for relieving the excessive ten sion incident to our present habits of living. Some, as we have said, preach the gospel of relaxation, content to tell us that we are too intense. Others have established schools with practical and helpful rules and methods for relaxation and have brought comfort and relief to many. Again, a new and unique interest has suddenly arisen in play. Men and animals have always played; but now we have first become conscious of play and curious about it. We insist on play. If chil dren do not play, we teach them to play. And we are anxious to know about the theory of play.

The Psychology of Relaxation (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel perspective on the psychology of play, sport, laughter, profanity, alcohol, and war, viewing them as unified forms of relaxation from the stress and tension of modern life. The author challenges traditional views of these activities, especially the theory of play as practice for future life. Instead, the author argues that these activities represent a catharsis, a release from the burden of modern life's intense focus on work, sustained attention, and voluntary inhibition. By connecting these seemingly disparate themes through the idea of relaxation, the book seeks to illuminate the pressing social problems of our time, including amusement crazes, the overuse of narcotics, and the increasing incidence of war. Its insights offer a fresh perspective on the interplay between work and play, and the need for relaxation in maintaining our health and well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330349137_0
