Neurofeedback techniques are used as treatment for a variety of psychological disorders including attention deficit disorder, dissociative identity disorder, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and brain injury. Resources for understanding what the technique is, how it is used, and to what disorders and patients it can be applied are scarce. An ideal tool for practicing clinicians and clinical psychologists in independent practice and hospital settings, this book provides an introduction to neurofeedback/neurotherapy techniques. Key Features

Review: Quite a good reference... This is good collection of reference papers on various aspects of Quantitative EEG. This is an attempt to make EEG more "scientific" by trying to set up a framework of data to use as reference by the medical community as opposed to the more qualitative aspect of just looking at brainwaves. This thesis is apparent in the first paper which is probably just gibberish for anyone not interested in the basis for the database. However, the remainder of the papers contain some very interesting observations and are worth reading. There is a good paper detailing the success of a group using QEEG for children with ADD and ADHD which would be a great reference. That is, although the benefits of meditation have been noted for thousands of years there are many who feel that this is all magic now that we have science to rely on. Unfortunately for these folks they don't usually know enough to question scientific endeavors and blindly accept any sort of a study as the "truth". Well, now there is scientific evidence that meditation can have a positive effect on many problems including ADD and ADHD; hopefully this will keep a few kids off of drugs. In the end, this book is a useful reference to those seeking a more comprehensive view of meditation. In addition to Freeman's work and Austin's "Zen and the Brain" (among other books) we of the Western scientific background are slowly beginning to legitimize what others have been saying for quite a long time...Better yet, find a master and buy a zafu, you won't regret it!
