Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge, drug-free therapeutic technique used by over a thousand licensed therapists in North America to treat a range of conditions from attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders to epilepsy, stroke, anxiety, migraine, and depression. First popularized in the 1970s, this naturalistic method is based on the idea that we can control our brain activity and that, through training, the brain can learn to modify its own electrical patterns for more efficient processing or to overcome various states of dysfunction.
In Biofeedback for the Brain, Dr. Paul G. Swingle describes in clear and coherent language how these procedures work. With numerous actual case examples, readers follow the progress of clients from the initial 'brain map' that shows the location and severity of the neurological abnormalities to the various stages of treatment. Conditions often considered untreatable by conventional health practitioners respond positively to neurotherapeutic treatment and Swingle describes many of these remarkable recoveries. Other chapters describe the use of neurotherapy for a variety of surprising purposes, including performance training for elite athletes, of which the most famous example is the Italian soccer team who considered the technique to be their 'secret weapon' in attaining a World Cup victory.
Despite wide-ranging sucess stories and the endorsement of the American Psychological Association, many health care practitioners remain skeptical of neurofeedback and the procedures are still not well-known by the public or conventional health care providers. This book provides a thorough, definitive, and highly readable presentation of this remarkable health care alternative that offers millions of individuals a chance for healing.

Author Paul Swingle is one of the pioneers in the field of Brain biofeedback and the related neurotherapies. Let me be clear that he has not just been IN the field since its early days. He has played an active, creative, dynamic role in pioneering important approaches and techniques. This book has been long awaited as a practical exploration and discusion of the wide ranging approaches and models he's helped to establish.
As founder of the Futurehealth Winter Brain Meeting, which has often been credited with being the very first conference on neurofeedback, it has been a pleasure to have Dr. Swingle as a speaker every year of the conference, where his new, innovative, integrative approaches has always drawn a strong audience-- where he's training the trainers.
What Dr. Swingle does best is put powerful ideas and approaches together in a way that maximizes their synergy and effectiveness. This book introduces the reader to not just neurofeedback, but the collection of ancillary techniques that make it work much better and faster.
If this were a meal, the ancillary techniques would be the fork, spoon, salt and pepper, and the many additional exotic spices that turn ordinary table fare into gourmet delight. Swingle adds his innovative approaches to the basic brainwave training that thousands do, and that's why he has one of the most successful practices in the world, and I've seen many of those other practices.
This book is for both laymen and professional biofeedback practitioners. If you are a layman, considering neurofeedback, this book will give you a good idea of both the breadth of the applications and the wide range of related approaches that work well with it. If you are a practitioner of neurofeedback, not trained by Dr. Swingle, then this book will probably open up whole new worlds of technologies and approaches you never considered as viable, valuable parts of your practice.
