While newer treatments are continuing to be developed, AR remains one of the most efficacious treatments for GAD. However, AR has received less in-depth attention more recently, particularly in terms of potential mechanisms of action. This article is written to honor the development and history of AR and to highlight the ways that it has continued to be adapted. In this article, AR treatment strategies are presented, which include: noticing early signs of anxiety, learning relaxation skills, and applying relaxation at the first sign of anxiety. Then, additional adaptations to AR are presented along with recommendations of how AR may be enhanced by understanding potential mechanisms of change. Finally, recommendations are made for the continued evolution of AR as a powerful and efficacious treatment for GAD.

Researchers long have complained that practicing therapists all too often continue to guide what they do therapeutically on the basis of their clinical experience and not the available research findings. Practicing therapists long have complained that therapy research bears only a remote resemblance to what goes on in actual clinical practice and that research reports are written for other researchers, not for clinicians. In the hope of turning our current crisis into an opportunity, this panel involved a dialogue that was designed to bridge this clinical-research gap.
