neurofeedback reading & research

---

If you are new to neurofeedback, Jim Robbins' book, A Symphony in the Brain is a great introduction to the field. Robbins provides an abundance of case studies, scientific explanations, and dramatic personal accounts that facilitates education and understanding in the field of Neurofeedback. This book is also available as an audiobook, and is also available at iBooks.

In this remarkable book, Sebern Fisher explains Neurofeedback’s and displays its profound affect in treating the complexity of severe childhood abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment—also known as developmental trauma. Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma is a must read for clients and clinicians. This book is available as an audiobook, and also available at iBooks.

Donna Jackson Nakazawa's book, Childhood Disrupted, is an excellent book that provides hope and inspiration for those who have suffered from childhood trauma. It is a great resource for lay people and mental health professionals. This book is also available at iBooks.

World renowned trauma Expert, Bessel van der Kolk provides an acute understanding of how traumatic stress reorders and alters our brain’s wiring, adversely impacting our ability to experience pleasure, self-regulate, and engage with and trust others. In The Body Keeps the Score, van der Kolk shares how these important areas of our lives can be transformed by Neurofeedback and other mindfulness approaches. This book is available as an audiobook and is also available at iBooks.

Authors, Robert W. Hill and Edward Castro mindfully crafted Healing Young Brains as an easy-to-read, excellent resource for parents and practitioners alike. In this life-changing work, Hill and Castro present Neurofeedback as an effective approach to childhood mental health disorders that can spare clients from the side effects that are normally associated with drug therapy. This book is also available at iBooks.

It can sometimes be difficult to understand just how Neurofeedback works; however, in her book, Neurofeedback: Transforming Your Life with Brain Biofeedback, Clare Albright explains Neurofeedback in an easy-to-understand way. She also demonstrates how Neurofeedback can help individuals move forward and leave ADD/ADHD in their past. 

In his superb book, The Neurofeedback Solution, Stephen Larsen presents numerous benefits of neurofeedback in the diagnosis and treatment of many crippling and exhausting psychological and neurological disorders (i.e., autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stroke, brain injury, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder). This book is also available at iBooks. 

Authors, Lisa Enneis, LMFT and Teresa Lauer, LMHC explains how Neurofeedback works, as well as how it can help improve brain function. The authors also address specific problems that Neurofeedback can help, as well as those who can most benefit from neurofeedback. If you need assistance in understanding what you and your family can expect from Neurofeedback, this book, Autism, ADHD & Neurofeedback, is a good and appropriate read for you.

Efficacy of Neurofeedback Treatment in ADHD: The Effects on Inattention, Impulsivity and Hyperactivity: a Meta-Analysis. Arns M, de Ridder S, Strehl U, Breteler M and Coenen A
Journal of Clinical EEG & Neuroscience, July, 2009

This article reported that Neurofeedback should be regarded as an evidence-based treatment for Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) based on accepted scientific standards of clinical medicine.  Neurofeedback has steadily gained acceptance as a mainstream medical technique for the treatment of several disorders; however critics persist in questioning the efficacy of neurofeedback and the quantity and quality of the clinical studies that support its use. The study was a so-called meta-analysis which examined the caliber of the scientific and statistical techniques and robustness of all recently published research about neurofeedback treatment for ADHD. This meta-analysis included 15 studies and 1194 ADHD patients. Based on this study, the research team concluded that neurofeedback should be regarded as an “Evidence-Based treatment for ADHD”. The results show that neurofeedback treatment has large and clinically significant effects on Impulsivity and Inattention and a modest improvement of Hyperactivity.  full text 

Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Rationale and Empirical Foundation (Abstract). Monastra VJ. During the past three decades, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback has emerged as a nonpharmacologic treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This intervention was derived from operant conditioning studies that demonstrated capacity for neurophysiologic training in humans and other mammals and targets atypical patterns of cortical activation that have been identified consistently in neuroimaging and quantitative EEG studies of patients diagnosed with ADHD. full text

Electroencephalographic Biofeedback in the Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Monastra VJ, Lynn S, Linden M, Lubar JF, Gruzelier J, LaVaque TJ. Historically, pharmacological treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been considered to be the only type of interventions effective for reducing the core symptoms of this condition. However, during the past three decades, a series of case and controlled group studies examining the effects of EEG biofeedback have reported improved attention and behavioral control, increased cortical activation on quantitative electroencephalographic examination, and gains on tests of intelligence and academic achievement in response to this type of treatment. full text

Friel, P. N. (2007). EEG biofeedback in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Alternative Medicine Review, 12(2), 146-151. Electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, is a promising alternative treatment for patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). EEG biofeedback therapy rewards scalp EEG frequencies that are associated with relaxed attention, and suppresses frequencies associated with under- or over-arousal. full text

Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder with Neurotherapy (abs.) Nash JK. Significant public health concerns exist regarding our current level of success in treating ADHD. Medication management is very helpful in 60-70% of patients. Side effects, lack of compliance and the fact that stimulant medications cannot be given late in the day limit the benefits largely to school hours. full text

Update on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (abs.). Campbell Daley K. In her recent paper, Update on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, published in Current Opinion in Pediatrics, Katie Campbell Daley reviewed the research and practice standards on treatment of ADHD.
 

Dr. Campbell is on the staff of the Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston and in the Department of Pediatrics of the Harvard Medical School. Her conclusion:
 

"Overall, these findings support the use of multi-modal treatment, including medication, parent/school counselling, and EEG biofeedback, in the long term management of ADHD, with EEG biofeedback in particular providing a sustained effect even without stimulant treatment... Parents interested in non-psychopharmacologic treatment can pursue the use of complementary and alternative therapy. The therapy most promising by recent clinical trials appears to be EEG biofeedback." full text

In-School Neurofeedback Training for ADHD: Sustained Improvements From a Randomized Control Trial. Naomi J. Steiner, MDa, Elizabeth C. Frenette, MPHa, Kirsten M. Rene, MAa, Robert T. Brennan, EdDb, and Ellen C. Perrin, MDa. (104 participants) Response rates were 90% at the 6-month follow-up. Six months post-intervention, neurofeedback participants maintained significant gains on Conners 3-P (Inattention effect size [ES] = 0.34, Executive Functioning ES = 0.25, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity ES = 0.23) and BRIEF subscales including the Global Executive Composite (ES = 0.31), which remained significantly greater than gains found among children in CT and control conditions. full text
