This review is from: Behavioral Treatments for Asthma: Biofeedback-, Respondent-, and Relaxation-Based Approaches (Studies in Health and Human Services) (Hardcover)

This book is extremely overpriced and contains little if any useful information pertaining to specific procedures and clinical instructions for applying any biofeedback techniques. There are about 69 pages of text and another 20 pages of references. It is basically a summary of the literature pertaining to outcomes of studies. I found nothing of use - MUCH more helpful information can be garnered on the Internet. It is no wonder it went out of print within two years of printing. I returned my copy for a refund within 30 minutes of receiving it. Look elsewhere for any information concerning the treatment of asthma by biofeedback or relaxation procedures!
