Description:
In Neurotherapy and Neurofeedback, accomplished clinicians and scholars Lori Russell-Chapin and Ted Chapin illustrate the importance of these advances and introduce counselors to the growing body of research demonstrating that the brain can be taught to self-regulate and become more efficient through neurofeedback (NF), a type of biofeedback for the brain. Students and clinicians will come away from this book with a strong sense of how brain dysregulation occurs and what kinds of interventions clinicians can use when counseling and medication prove insufficient for treating behavioral and psychological symptoms.
Review Quotes:
"I am shamelessly impressed by the authors' scholarly and creative work. Neurotherapy and Neurofeedback offers both the basics of neurofeedback and, equally importantly, a superb summary of current discoveries on the brain and neuroscience research. It's an ideal text for any field in which human communication and development is central."
--Allen E. Ivey, EdD, ABPP, distinguished university professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst
"Russell-Chapin and Chapin provide a clear, succinct, yet in-depth discussion of the broad and complex field of neurotherapy and its underlying empirical foundations. This book is a must read for clinicians and an essential text for both preparation and practice."
--Jane E. Myers, PhD, LPC, BCIA (EEG), coauthor of Counseling for Wellness
"A new generation of clinicians, expert in self-regulation of the neural networks, will return repeatedly to this book for insight and clarification."
--Douglas Dailey, LAc, BCB, BCN, QEEG diplomate, founder of TAG Sync Neurofeedback
"Neurofeedback is a constantly evolving and emerging intervention. With limited academic venues professionals rely on the writings and expertise of their colleagues. Drs. Russell-Chapin and Chapin have provided an accurate yet digestible account of the historical and scientific underpinnings but perhaps more importantly have provided a framework for the professional to integrate neurofeedback into their practice. Neurotherapy and Neurofeedback is an excellent resource for both the new and experienced neurotherapist."
