In a growing number of occupational therapy practices, Neurofeedback is already established as a solid treatment method. However, many occupational therapists also doubt whether the “technical” neurofeedback fits into their everyday work. Being said, occupational therapists can even get some reimbursement from the health insurance and healthcare system for neurofeedback therapy in countries like Germany. In an interview, EEG Info lecturer Thomas Theis reports what inspires him about neurofeedback, how neurofeedback can be integrated into occupational therapy and why occupational therapists in particular bring the perfect conditions for neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback is a therapy method that - similar to biofeedback methods - is based on measuring physical body functions and reporting them back through appropriate signals in real time. Since neurofeedback is about the brain, EEG signals are used for feedback here. Neurofeedback is mainly used in therapy to improve the self-regulation ability.

The Protocol Guide by Susan F. Othmer has been the indispensable standard work for all those who (want to) work with Neurofeedback according to Othmer. The now current 7th edition contains clinical knowledge about the new extended ILF HD range, revised symptom profiles and the new ILF synchrony training.

Everyone can benefit from neurofeedback, which helps the brain to regulate itself better in a playful way. Above all, it helps to alleviate numerous illnesses such as migraines, sleep and concentration disorders, ADHD, mental disorders and trauma. And all this without having to go into detail about your own past. Meike Wiedemann and Kirsten Segler explain in an easily understandable way how neurofeedback works and how it is applied. Numerous case histories show the many different ways it can be used. An exciting introduction to a promising therapy method, effective and without side effects. Available in German.
