Case Study: Neurofeedback is a form of operant conditioning that rewards the brain for activity at desired frequencies while discouraging activity at other frequencies. It is being used by therapists around the world to address an increasing number of disorders, from ADD and AD/HD to bipolar illness, autism, and learning disability. Neurofeedback training can reduce symptoms quickly, allowing the therapist and patient to better focus on broader psychological issues. It has been used in the treatment of more than a hundred people, some with diagnoses as severe as dissociative identity disorder, Asperger's syndrome, borderline personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
