5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Text On "How To" In Neurofeedback, February 21, 2005
In the field of neurofeedback there are very few books that actually explain how to do neurofeedback. Most of the existing books are about theory and not method. John Demos has put together a book that is based on a sophisticated understanding of the method of neurofeedback and at the same time very readable. Within these pages are the simple and straightforward explanations of what needs to be done, why it needs to be done and how to do it. His explanations are clear and lucid. The careful organization of this text provides the reader with a progressive exposure to concepts that culminates in a comprehensive picture of the practice of neurofeedback. The theory and method he presents is well grounded in the existing literature and reflects a thorough exploration of the topic as well as considerable first hand clinical experience. This is the book that clinicians entering the field will be searching for as they travel from workshop to workshop in search of a comprehensive approach. As an author, clinician, and teacher in the field of neurofeedback I am acutely aware of the extensive effort and care it required to produce such a text and I highly recommend it to everyone in the field.

Richard Soutar, Ph.D.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is AWESOME, April 8, 2005
By J. Eure (Charlottesville, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've been working at a neurofeedback tech for nearly a year now and I have been researching and learning about NF for two years. This is the most comprehensive source I have found. While he discussed in-depth the complexities of NF, it's very understandable. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a practioner but it might get a bit too involved to recommend to clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Breakthrough book for the Neurofeedback Field, January 25, 2005
John Demos' "Getting Started with Neurofeedback" is an unusually thorough, concise, informative, and practical book on the practice of neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback). This is one of the most succinct introductions to the field that I have seen, and it also includes a wealth of practical information. Ultimately, it provides sufficient background and applications information to allow one with relevant qualifications to begin working in this area. It would be an excellent text resource for a formal training program, as well. This covers a wide range of approaches and philosophies, and is unique in that it does not simply espouse one approach. Rather, it puts many approaches in perspective, and allows the reader to make intelligent decisions regarding when, how, and in what manner one wants to apply neurofeedback therapy. It includes basic neurophysiology and anatomy, the value of brain maps and mini-assessments, and practical considerations for formulating treatment plans, configuring and using equipment, and interpreting results. Really a "must have" for anyone in the field of neurofeedback, considering entering this field, or any seriously curious student who wants to understand this emerging and changing area.
