Abstract
There are established evidence-based interventions for children with various medical and psychological conditions. In addition, there is evidence supporting biofeedback to treat some of these conditions. However, there remains a gap in the literature in addressing how the practicing clinical psychologist or therapist can apply principles of psychotherapy to enhance biofeedback, as well as how components of biofeedback can enhance the application of evidence-based psychotherapies for children. This article utilizes a case-based approach to highlight some notable pathways for appropriate integration between psychotherapy techniques and biofeedback. It concludes with a summary of the current gaps and opportunities for research to address, as well as opportunities for clinicians and researchers to collaborate to better understand the real-world applications of successful integration of biofeedback with psychotherapy when treating children.
期刊介绍:
Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is an international, interdisciplinary journal devoted to study of the interrelationship of physiological systems, cognition, social and environmental parameters, and health. Priority is given to original research, basic and applied, which contributes to the theory, practice, and evaluation of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback. Submissions are also welcomed for consideration in several additional sections that appear in the journal. They consist of conceptual and theoretical articles; evaluative reviews; the Clinical Forum, which includes separate categories for innovative case studies, clinical replication series, extended treatment protocols, and clinical notes and observations; the Discussion Forum, which includes a series of papers centered around a topic of importance to the field; Innovations in Instrumentation; Letters to the Editor, commenting on issues raised in articles previously published in the journal; and select book reviews. Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is the official publication of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
