Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biofeedback training is a research methodology and training procedure through which people can learn voluntary control over their internal physiological systems. It is a merger of mUltiple disciplines with interest deriving from many sources-from basic understanding of psychophysiology to a desire for enhanced self-awareness. The goals of biofeedback are to develop an increased awareness of relevant internal physiological functions, to establish control over these functions, to generalize control from an experimental or clinical setting to everyday life, and to focus attention on mind/body integration. Biofeedback is explored in many different settings. In the university, biofeed back equipment and applications can be found in the departments of experi mental and clinical psychology, counseling, physiology, biology, education, and the theater arts, as well as in the health service (student infirmary). Outside the university, biofeedback may be found in different departments of hospitals (such as physical medicine), private clinics, education and self-awareness groups, psychotherapy practices, and elsewhere. Its growth is still expanding, and excite ment is still rising as a result of biofeedback's demonstration that autonomic functions can be brought under voluntary control and that the long-standing arti ficial separation between mind, body, and consciousness can be disproven.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of residual muscular tension has been implicated as a detrimental influence on the performance and learning of motor skills. A method for reducing muscular tension has been provided by the recent advent of biofeedback training. Thirty young adult males were subjected to tests of stabilometer balancing skill and pursuitrotor tracking skill, which represented gross and fine motor activity respectively. Following pre-tests, the subjects were ranked by performance scores and divided into identical triplicates. Two experimental groups and a control group were formed when one subject of each triplicate was assigned to each group. The two experimental groups were trained by electromyographic biofeedback techniques to reduce muscular tension in the frontalis muscles. After a total of three hours of training for the experimental subjects, all subjects were re-evaluated on the same motor skill tasks. One experimental group received electromyographic feedback during the post-tests. Analysis of variance groups by trials, analysis of variance of difference means, and t tests of scores representing performance and tension suggested that: a) electromyographic biofeedback training significantly (1) reduces tension induced by novel motor skill learning and (2) improves motor performance of fine and gross motor skills; b) transfer of tension-control training of a general nature facilitates learning and performance more than direct biofeedback during performance; and c) a higher tension level is necessary for performance of fine motor tasks as tension correlates positively with performance. Residual tension reduction and control were particularly facilitated by electromyograph biofeedback methods, which may have profound implications for the management of stress in a variety of situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey will be useful for anyone who seriously wants to learn more about the current therapeutic status of biofeedback-therapists, physicians considering a referral, well-educated prospective patients, teachers, students, and research workers. But readers with different needs should use it in different ways. For a quick overview of a large field, one should tum to the Introduction and Summary and Conclusions sections. The reader interested in a specific disease should look for the proper section in the Table of Contents and then tum to the overall summary at the end of that section and also the briefer summaries that are given in the last paragraph of many subsections, whenever sufficient data are available. The reader who wants more information should read the entire chapter. The serious student or research worker, for whom the book will be most valuable, will want to read more of the main volume and at least to sample the Appendix to see the kinds of information that can be mined from it. When patients are satisfied with a new treatment and seem to be improved by it, why bother with any additional evaluation? The reason is that history has shown over and over again that new forms of treatment initially can be used enthusiastically for many conditions with apparent success, only to have the pendulum swing in the opposite direction from overenthusiasm to com plete disillusionment.

Book excerpt: The chapters of this book were prepared as task force reports under the aegis of the Biofeedback Society of America (BSA). The impetus for the present generation of task force reports can be dated back to 1982, when John D. Rugh, as President-Elect of the Society, announced that the updating of the task force reports would be given high priority during his term as President. An ad hoc Task Force Committee was appointed in 1983, and the committee set the following objectives: (1) solicit a widely based stream of input from all segments of the Biofeedback Society of America, (2) establish a peer review system to assure the highest degree of scholarship and an unbiased approach, (3) select for area authors only individuals who have profound knowledge of the area and who have demonstrated the ability to extend understanding by reviewing and criticizing the literature, (4) prepare all reports according to a standard ized format, and (5) publish all the reports simultaneously. Input came from several sources. Many people responded with ideas and suggestions to an announcement in the BSA Newsletter that the task force reports were being revised. In 1984, a symposium was conducted at the BSA annual meeting, which included round table dis cussions and dialogues between task force report authors and the BSA membership.

Book excerpt: Broader coverage of the disorders for which relaxation training is known to be useful, and an expanded section on special populations, are new to the second edition of this volume. Roger Poppen provides a general framework for all relaxation training methodologies from a behavioural perspective, with a focus on new methods of training and assessing relaxation. Based on the research and clinical practice of the author and his students, methods are presented in sufficient detail for practitioners to adopt them in a variety of applications. The assessment procedure described is not specific to the training method and can be employed with any relaxation training procedure. Extrapolations and projections for future directions in
