“…Quirk (1995) reported reduced recidivism using a combination of neurofeedback and galvanic skin response biofeedback. Smith and Sams (2005) showed improvements in attention and behavior in a group of juvenile offenders, and a study in a Boys Totem Town project with seven juvenile felons (Martin & Johnson, 2005) improvements were noted on a variety of measures. Most recently, Surmeli and Ertem (2009) presented a case series of 13 patients who received from 80 to 100 neurofeedback treatment sessions guided by QEEG findings.…”

“…Results showed significant improvement concluding that neurotherapy can be a promising new intervention for juvenile offenders in terms of both improving cognitive functioning and reducing recidivism. 55 Another study involving 7 male adolescents with ADHD-C or with CD attempted to examine the effect of NF training on several cognitive functions. Training protocol included sensorimotor rhythm augmentation, along with reduction in theta (2-7 Hz) and hi-beta (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

Conduct disorder is a significant psychiatric disorder of childhood and adolescence. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth version (DSM-5), added the limited prosocial specifier to identify those individuals who exhibit a more severe pattern of behavior characterized by a callous and unemotional (CU) interpersonal style across multiple settings and relationships. This review has attempted to summarize the relevant research focusing on the significance of CU interpersonal style in the development of psychopathy. The primary focus was on the electrophysiological and neuropsychological correlates of CU traits and their implication on the treatment protocol using neurofeedback training for children with such traits. The source of the literature search was PubMed, which majorly uses the MEDLINE database. The keywords used included CU traits, conduct disorder, child psychopathy, empathy, electrophysiology, criminal behavior, neuropsychology, neurofeedback training, and so on. Studies from the last 15 years were considered for the review. This review revealed that children with conduct disorder and high-CU traits with a combination of reactive and proactive aggression are more likely to develop psychopathy. Evidence suggests that these children have distinct forms of electrophysiological and neuropsychological correlates. However, research in this area is still not conclusive as they yield variation in findings. Studies on the efficacy of neurofeedback training on reducing symptoms such as impulsivity, hostility, and psychopathy indicate that neurofeedback training can be a promising treatment alternative for children with severe conduct disorder.

“…Activity within the videogame (via brain activity) helps the youth accumulate points and “win” the game. Neurofeedback has been shown to be an effective intervention in reducing ADHD and other externalizing behaviors, especially for treatment resistant or difficult to treat clients (Huang-Storms, Bodenhamer-Davis, Davis, & Dunn, 2006; Joyce & Siever, 2000; Martin & Johnson, 2005; Smith & Sams, 2006; van Outsem, 2011).…”

Research has extensively cataloged the types of interventions that prevent and treat antisocial behavior across the life course. Despite our knowledge of which interventions “work,” there is a limited understanding of why these practices are effective and who does (or does not) benefit from traditional evidence-based practices (EBPs). The current study reviews the literature on the biopsychological mechanisms and moderators of EBPs across the life course, and it provides recommendations to clinicians and program developers based on these findings. The literature typically shows that EBPs may reduce antisocial behavior because these programs alter clients’ biological systems responsible for stress response and self-regulation. Similarly, individuals who receive fewer benefits from EBPs have weaker stress responses, difficulty processing punishment, increased reward sensitivity, and problems with attention, self-regulation, and cognitive flexibility. The implications of these findings are discussed for each stage of the life course.
