Stress management training interventions have become one of the most popular treatment programs in health psychology practice. Although numerous clinical approaches are available, limited attention is given to the matching of intervention with the clinical needs of individuals. As a result, stress management programs are more frequently marketed in clinical and community settings as palliative techniques without sufficient exploration of the causes of stress. We review these concerns and highlight critical assessment and treatment variables that moderate the efficacy of specific stress management interventions. Suggestions for further research and guidelines for clinical practice are presented.
