It is based on the concept of autogenicity and was introduced in the 1930s by Johannes Heinrich Schultz. The technique is based on the self-regulation of normally involuntary functions. Anal Autogenic Training (AAT) is an original variant of the undersigned Author who, referring to the concepts of Schultz applies the Schulz technique to the proctological field and specifically to the situation of Anal Sphincter Syndrome.
