The present Manual is a compilation of Luthe´s Introductory Workshops to the Methods of Autogenic Therapy, and includes the foreword by Hans Selye to the course given at the Montreal Institute of Stress and Luthe´s own foreword to the course given in Orlando, Florida, for the Biofeedback Society of America. This weekend 15 h. intensive program was intended for the sensitization of professionals already engaged in clinical psychosomatic or psychiatric practice, and lacks the follow-up practice program later instituted by ICAT and currently endorsed by ISATAP. With the experience gathered by his followers, Luthe´s introductory workshop has been expanded into the current 100 h. (30 in situ teaching and 70 h at home practice)ISATAP Level 1 qualification program. Nevertheless, Luthe´s Introductory Workshop remains a must-read Manual for anybody interested in the autogenic approach.

Wolfgang Luthe, MD, LMCC (1922-1985). Physician, scientist and psychotherapist. Born in Germany, he immigrated to Canada in 1945. He brought to the attention of the English-speaking world the immense amount of research and clinical work that had been done on Autogenic Therapy, a self-regulatory medical treatment well known to European clinicians, but practically unknown in North America. His work was fundamental for incorporating this therapy into psychosomatic medicine, clinical psychology and psychiatry. Wolfgang Luthe was instrumental in the formation of ICAT, the International Committee for Autogenic Training and Therapy, and actively engaged in teaching, publishing, and organizational work in furtherance of Autogenic Therapy. He made frequent visits to Japan, where he was scientific director of the Oskar Vogt Institute and visiting professor at the Kyushu University School of Medicine and Hospital. The Oskar Vogt Institute emphasizes multidisciplinary research in psychophysiology and neurophysiology as well as in autogenic therapy.
