Product Review
"
Biofeedback, 3rd Edition, is the essential guide to contemporary biofeedback treatment. It provides practical, state-of-the-art treatment protocols and also includes the references to supportive research that are required by today's evidence-based clinician. As a rehabilitation professional, I found the chapters on neuromuscular reeducation, musculoskeletal pain, and pelvic floor disorders to be both interesting and clinically relevant."--Susan J. Middaugh, PhD, PT, Department of Anesthesia & Perioperative Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC
"The new edition of
Biofeedback: A Practitioner’s Guide is the classic, encyclopedic text on the practice of biofeedback. The book is well organized, comprehensive, readable, and well-documented and should be on the bookshelf of every student, practitioner, researcher, and instructor in the field of applied psychophysiology."--
Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback"the most comprehensive and up-to-date text on biofeedback so far available. It is inclusive, encyclopedic and thorough. I cannot think of virtually any topic related to biofeedback that is not found here. This text is both clear and comprehensive. Complex medical systems and biochemical interactions are explicated in ways that are understandable to the uninitiated and yet not overly simplified for experts.Given the time, effort, size and levels of expertise of this book's many contributors, this is a bargain.For those wishing to study BCIA certification this text alone should provide the required knowledge base. Any psychology graduate program with a behavioral medicine component will wish to use this text as a primary biofeedback resource. Anyone interested in biofeedback or wishing to learn more about it need look no further than this Edition.this is a superb text and will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone professionally involved in biofeedback."--

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Biofeedback, Second Edition: A Practitioner's Guide (Paperback)
If you are going to get into biofeedback as a practitioner you really must have this book. It provides a wonderfully comprehensive, detailed picture of a wide range of biofeedback applications, modalities, issues and techniques. Edited and partially written by Mark Schwartz, founder of the Mayo Clinic Biofeedback program, and Frank Andrasik, both past presidents of AAPB (Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback,) the book offers an encyclopedic amount of information on the most frequently used forms of non-EEG biofeedback. It only has one chapter on EEG biofeedback-- though that one, by Joel Lubar, is an excellent. Even practitioners getting into work which focusses primarily on EEG should buy this book and include in their library, since it offers valuable perspectives on working with the kinds of clients/patients likely to be encountered. if you are getting into a practice, working with headache, stress disorder, behavioral medicine, etc. then this book should be on your bookshelf. Frankly, being a bit of a bibliomaniac, I have at least forty different biofeedback books-- one of the largest libraries on the subject anywhere. I've also co-edited two books on biofeedback myself (published in Russia.) As a biofeedback practitioner since 1972, a biofeedback product inventor, software developer international meeting organizer and entrepreneur, I have recommended the book to hundreds of people and have probably sold, over the years, through my business, at least 300 copies. I know that at least three or four years ago, before the release of the 2nd edition, I heard that over 12,000 copies had been sold. That's pretty amazing for a book of this sort. other good books on biofeedback include: Basmajian, Fuller-Von Bozzay, and for EEG biofeedback: Wise, Evans & Abarbanel
