Paul Swingle Starting Neurofeedback (NFB)

This clinical guide explains the use of neurotherapy to enhance mental health and medical practice across settings and specialities. The text guides clinicians through the tools and methods of neurotherapy: the ClinicalQ for intake assessment, a stimulated EEG modality called braindriving, and neurofeedback protocols to retrain brain function. Case studies demonstrate neurotherapy as an efficient component in treating brain-related and mind/body conditions and symptoms, from ADHD, sleep disturbances, and depression to fibromyalgia and seizures. Its methods allow clinicians to find deviations in brain functioning, often missed diagnostically, and choose therapeutic interventions best suited to clients based on reliable data. Paul G. Swingle, Ph.D. R.Psych. was Professor of Psychology at the University of Ottawa prior to moving to Vancouver where he is now Director of the Swingle Clinic. A Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, Dr. Swingle was Lecturer in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and during the same time period was Associate Attending Psychologist at McLean Hospital (Boston) where he also was Coordinator of the Clinical Psychophysiology Service. He is a Registered Psychologist in British Columbia, certified in Biofeedback and Neurotherapy. He has several recent books: Biofeedback for the Brain (2010, Rutgers University Press); Adding Neurotherapy to Your Practice (2015, Springer); When the ADHD Diagnosis is Wrong (2015, Praeger).
