Overview

Now in a fully revised and updated third edition, this comprehensive text offers state-of-the-science coverage of current biofeedback research, applications, clinical procedures, and biomedical instrumentation. Existing chapters have been restructured and extensively rewritten, some with new authorship, and 11 entirely new chapters added. Like the previous edition, the book describes approaches to treating a wide range of clinical problems, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, temporomandibular disorders, fibromyalgia, Raynaud's disease, and more. New chapters include coverage of pediatric headaches, pelvic floor-related disorders, and applications for athletes and musicians. In addition, significant advances in EEG applications are reflected in four new chapters devoted exclusively to this area. With contributions from leading experts, the volume offers a unique combination of practical know-how and scholarly expertise.

Reviews

'This comprehensive resource should be on the shelf of every clinician and researcher using biofeedback.' - Donald Moss, PhD, Editor, Biofeedback magazine 'For anyone entering the biofeedback field, seeking a comprehensive reference or update on the field, or studying for BCIA certification, this text should be consulted first... The biofeedback practitioner who consults this book may feel as if a wise and experienced biofeedback clinician were sitting in the room as a coach... It is informative and thought-provoking even for the most experienced biofeedback practitioner, yet it is accessible to the intelligent beginner.' - Biofeedback and Self-Regulation

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 <br>., . 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. -- Child & Family Behavior Therapy <br>
