Product Description A practical primer on this rapidly growing field Handbook of Neurofeedback is a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly growing field, offering practical information on the history of neurofeedback, theoretical concerns, and applications for a variety of disorders encountered by clinicians, including ADHD, depression, autism, aging, and traumatic brain injury. Using case studies and a minimum of technical language, the field's pioneers and most experienced practitioners discuss emerging topics, general and specific treatment procedures, training approaches, and theories on the efficacy of neurofeedback. Handbook of Neurofeedback includes historical notes and speculation of the future of neurofeedback from a neurotherapist who's also an inventor/producer of neurofeedback equipment. There's also a very detailed theory on neurofeedback, including speculation on how and why neurofeedback training results in the alleviation of symptoms in a wide range of disorders; a review of procedures, including the ROSHI approach and other means of modifying the EEG; and a look at emerging approaches, including coherence/phase training, inter-hemispheric training, and the combination of neurofeedback and computerized cognitive training. Topics discussed in Handbook of Neurofeedback include: implications of network models for neurofeedback the transition from structural to functional models client and therapist variables treatment-specific variables tomographic neurofeedback applying audio-visual entrainment to neurofeedback common patterns of coherence deviation EEG patterns and the elderly nutrition and cognitive health ADHD definitions and treatment attention disorders autism disorders the neurobiology of depression QEEG-guided neurofeedback and much more Handbook of Neurofeedback is an essential professional resource for anyone practicing, or interested in practicing neurofeedback, including neurotherapists, neuropsychologists, professional counselors, neurologists, neuroscientists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists.

| Customer Reviews: Handbook of Neuro feedback December 24, 2008 Michael Czajka Jnr (Australia) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the only book I was able to find with a broad background of neurofeedback.
Yes it is interesting... but could have done with a few more things eg.
A list of practising Neuro feedback practitioners or organisations would have been useful. Otherwise readers don't know who to contact.
A list of manufacturers of Neurofeedback equipment would have been useful. They are mentioned in the history... but that may or may not be sufficient to track them down.
The book comes across a little disjointed... which is probably the result of the collaboration with so many pHD's... and the editor trying to put it together.
It would have been nice to compare or contrast the Neuro Electric Therapies (NET)... and compare them to Neuro feedback. Specifically Dr Meg Patterson (NET) and Dr Robert Beck (Biotuner).
The two therapies probably work together quite nicely... but there is no mention of such closely related complementary approaches.
It is really a shame that the book doesn't include a contact e-mail for corrections, suggestions, etc...
The practical sections on treating things like autism and depression were quite interesting... as it is the practical applications that hod the greatest interest.
It wouild have been nice to extend this practical section to eating disorders, etc... as a few more examples would have been nice (that's more of a request than a criticism).
It would be nice if this publication came out electronically... as the adoption and acceptance of neurofeedback requires people to be educated as to its usefulness: the book has priced itself out of the reach of the casual reader... and thus misses the opportunity to educate the average person.
The book seems to be mostly aimed at professionals with an interest in Neurofeedback... something that is not immediately obvious by reading it's description.
This book has the potential to be even better.
I hope the editor will take the time to tweak the chapters in future editions... with an eye to adding a few more explanations so that more readers will understand.
:-)
