Resumen

Resumen La terapia autógena se origina en el entrenamiento autógeno de Schultz y en su desarrollo incorpora diferentes métodos terapéuticos de orientación psicofisiológica creados para promover procesos cerebrales homeostáticos autorregulatorios. Los objetivos de este artículo son describir y analizar los diferentes métodos autógenos, los procesos psicofisiológicos y neurofisiológicos implicados y sus aplicaciones eficaces en la salud y la clínica. Para ello, además de revisar los primeros trabajos de Schultz y Luthe, se ha hecho una búsqueda electrónica de estudios para encontrar contribuciones relevantes sobre estos temas. Los resultados muestran un gran desarrollo de los métodos autógenos hasta los años 80, con una ingente cantidad de aplicaciones y estudios sobre los cambios psicofisiológicos y neurofisiológicos concomitantes. Sin embargo, su expansión durante los últimos 25 años ha sido mucho menor en comparación con métodos como el mindfulness o la hipnosis. Se discuten posibles causas y se plantean retos futuros para la terapia autógena.
