This is the latest book on neurofeedback and reports the state of the art as of 2005. The author takes the basic protocols used by the majority of the field and then integrates qEEG, one of the fastest growing approaches to neurofeedback. Another reviewer calls qEEG "outdated." This is an outrageous, misleading statement, at best. qEEG IS controversial and not all practitioners use it. My own opinion on qEEG is that it is very often useful and sometimes essential, partifcularly for traumatic brain injury, as the book states, but not always necessary. I also believe that non-qEEG approaches can be very effective. But suggesting that qEEG outdated is, just plain wrong.

This book provides a wide range of different perspectives at a very affordable price, offering the entry level and novice practitioner of neurofeedback a wealth of state of the art information. Any practitioner getting started with neurofeedback would be advised to invest in this book.

The book is well done, clear and a comprehensive introduction to neurofeedback. I enjoyed reading (studying) it. I must say I mostly appreciated it from an historical point of view though. It describes the old way of doing neurofeedback -- still much in use -- and for instance doesn't mention that qEEG as a basis for neurofeedback has been outdated for several years now. Unfortunately there are no books detailing the more recent neurofeedback tools...

Excellent overview of a field that is growing. I started out in biofeedback but had been out of it for 20 years. Went to a workshop reviewing the latest in QEEG and neurofeedback, so I wanted to learn more. This book has given me a good sense of what I will need to do to get back into this area of treatment and analysis.

While I'm new to the topic of neurofeedback and EEG training, this book provided a solid grounding on the subject. While this book is NOT for the lighthearted newbie, I can honestly say that I learned a tremendous amount. Even though there is considerable material to digest, I'm reading the book very slowly (and with a highlighter next to me). I know I'll read it again and continue to use it as a reference.
