A guide to neurofeedback for better physical and mental health as well as greater emotional balance, cognitive agility, and creativity
Provides easy-to-understand explanations of different neurofeedback methods--from the LENS technique to Z-score training
Explains the benefits of this therapy for anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, brain injuries, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and many other ailments
Explores how to combine neurofeedback with breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and attention-control exercises such as Open Focus
What is neurofeedback? How does it work? And how can it help me or my family?
In this guide to neurofeedback, psychologist and neurofeedback clinician Stephen Larsen examines the countless benefits of neurofeedback for diagnosing and treating many of the most debilitating and now pervasive psychological and neurological ailments, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stroke, brain injury, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Surveying the work of neurofeedback pioneers, Larsen explains the techniques and advantages of different neurofeedback methods--from the LENS technique and HEG to Z-score training and Slow Cortical Potentials. He reveals evidence of neuroplasticity--the brain’s ability to grow new neurons—and shows how neurofeedback can nourish the aging brain and help treat degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and strokes. Examining the different types of brain waves, he shows how to recognize our own dominant brainwave range and thus learn to exercise control over our mental states. He explains how to combine neurofeedback with breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and attention-control exercises such as Open Focus. Sharing successful and almost miraculous case studies of neurofeedback patients from a broad range of backgrounds, including veterans and neglected children, this book shows how we can nurture our intimate relationship with the brain, improving emotional, cognitive, and creative flexibility as well as mental health.

Il Neurofeedback in se potrebbe essere interessante, ma questo libro, scritto da uno dei massimi esperti, è stata una delusione totale. Una accozzaglia di false speranze, opinioni antiscientifiche, frasi di dubbia condivisione ed emerge tanta variabilità nei trattamenti che denotano come ci sia bisogno di tante altre ricerche scientifiche, metodologicamente corrette per verificarene i contenuti.

When feeling very bewildered about neurofeedback treatments for my son, I read this book.
It was a fantastic support at the time and gave us so much more understanding of all the amazing possibilities. Thank you Stephen Larsen

Outdated perspectives relying on ableist and classist templates to “cure” society of those nasty, pesky issues perpetuated by ableist and classist systems. Cyclical and not a useful solution except for maybe your boss trying to bolster the bottom line, employees be damned.

This book is a key in a journey of understanding mental health recommendations. It’s an eye opening to Treatment methods and a little history of the used technology

Interesting, though the treatments/therapy sound expensive...
Would like to try it though. Until then, I'm skeptical of what it could actually do/heal.
