BIOFEEDBACK FOR TROUBLED YOUTH GRAND ROUNDS

Date: Thursday, November 10, 2011
Time: 09:00 to 10:00 Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Session Leader: Linda Walker

In this session, to be recorded live from Michigan on November 10,2011, session leader Linda Walker, presents two case studies. The first describes a fifteen year old boy involved in gang activity and drug experimentation. Treatment included breathing exercises using heart rate variability, a breath pacer, skin conductance and temperature training. The second case described a thirteen year old girl living with an adoptive family. Evaluations show the girl experienced significant learning issues. Treatment for both cases included biofeedback modalities combined with other interventions. At the end of the grand rounds, participants will be able to identify one measure of biofeedback and recognize the use and benefit of combining neurofeedback with biofeedback .

Upcoming Biofeedback Basics Online Class

This class provides an introduction to the use of biofeedback equipment to measure and give feedback on physiological parameters including respiration, skin temperature, skin conductance, and surface EMG. The software demonstrated during the class was built specifically to be a companion to the recently published “Biofeedback Mastery” text by Erik Peper, Ph.D., published by the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB). The "Biofeedback Mastery" text and the online class together introduce the basic skills derived from more than 30 years of biofeedback training and teaching experience: making sense of the data; monitoring and displaying biological signals of interest, the underlying physiology of each signal; accurately recording the signal; the basics of self-regulation; limitations of psychophysiological monitoring; techniques for connecting and attaching sensors; discriminating real feedback signals from artifact.

This course is approved for 6 contact hours by the American Psychological Association and is a must for professionals seeking and introduction to the materials required by the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (formerly the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA) for certification.

Final date and time are to be determined shortly. Consult the BFE Shop for more information. The Online Class is currently on special, at $149.00, instead of $169.00.
