1st Edition
Handbook of Clinical QEEG and Neurotherapy
This book is an essential resource describing a wide range of approaches and technologies in the areas of quantitative EEG (QEEG) and neurotherapy including neurofeedback and neuromodulation approaches. It emphasizes practical, clinically useful methods, reported by experienced clinicians who have developed and used these approaches first hand. These chapters describe how the authors approach and use their particular combinations of technology, and how clients are evaluated and treated. This resource, which is encyclopedic in scope, provides a valuable and broad, yet sufficiently detailed account, to help clinicians guide the future directions in client assessment and neurotherapeutic treatment. Each contribution includes literature citations, practical information related to clinical interventions, and clinical outcome information.

“The Handbook of QEEG and Neurotherapy is an outstanding introduction to a very diverse field by many authors who are well known and have contributed immeasurably to the development of neurofeedback. The chapters range from basic introduction to neurofeedback to neurofeedback applications for all age groups and in particular for disorders such as dyslexia, addiction, and other clinical entities. The newest areas such as LORETA Z score based training is included in this volume as well as traditional protocols that date back to the 1970s. This Handbook will be very useful for newcomers to the field as well as seasoned practitioners.”—Joel F. Lubar PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Tennessee; Director, Southeastern, Neurofeedback Institute Inc.; BCIA Senior Fellow-EEG, BCN—Board Certified Neurofeedback; QEEG Diplomate
“Clinical rather than scientific in tone, practical with useful anecdotal information that will appeal to practitioners….authors [are] well respected and recognized in their clinical work.”—David Trudeau, MD, Editor Emeritus, Journal of Neurotherapy; President, ISNR Research Foundation; former director, Neurofeedback Lab, Department of Psychiatry, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center
