Abstract: Investigated the extent to which meditation and relaxation techniques (MRTs) were being used for counseling groups of adolescents with behavior problems. Data were gathered from 57 school counselors (SCLs) via a postal survey. Fewer than 40% of the SCLs used MRTs. Three-fourths of the SCLs did not use MRTs in their group counseling, and only half would consider learning the techniques for use in group counseling. Some SCLs indicated specific MRTs that they used, including biofeedback, imagery, progressive relaxation, deep breathing visualization, transcendental meditation, self-hypnosis, yoga, and music therapy.
