Veterans experience a considerable course of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and because of several psychosocial issues, traditional interventions and traditional intervention settings are ineffective for this population. A new cutting‐edge approach, known as neurofeedback, trains clients to control and manipulate their central nervous system and ameliorate physiological symptoms of stress disorders. The authors delineate how neurofeedback can be an effective and innovative intervention for PTSD experienced by the military population.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate clients' experience of engaging in a training protocol integrating biofeedback and neurofeedback in conjunction with counseling. The model constructed proposes that biofeedback applications may be used as a means to enrich the counseling experience as defined through the working alliance and treatment satisfaction.
Counseling has been identified as an effective form of treatment, assisting individuals in dealing with stress, fulfilling their personal goals, and establishing healthy lifestyles. While talk therapy is effective, high noncompliance rates lead to further dysfunction and additional health conditions. Incorporating biofeedback with counseling may enrich the overall counseling experience, particularly when considering process variables, including the working alliance and treatment satisfaction, as a means to further reduce noncompliance rates.
The purpose of this study was to document how children described their experiences of an unanticipated natural disaster in the form of a flood which followed a hurricane, focusing on strategies that helped them cope with the event. Four participants engaged in a qualitative study, which was conducted 6 years after the disaster. A qualitative analysis of the data was conducted. The overarching theme that emerged from the analysis was coping with the experience during the following time frames: (a) during the disaster, (b) immediately after the disaster, and (c) continued long-term effects post-disaster. Findings provide insight into children’s post-disaster experiences and clinical implications for recreational therapy.
