ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the utility of neurofeedback for PTSD and related comorbid conditions. It reviews a number of military and non-military utilizations of neurofeedback, which yield evidence of high effectiveness in realistic settings. The difficulties of subjecting this therapeutic discipline to standard research designs are discussed. The chapter ends with a description and analysis of the treatment history of a combat medic, who over a six-year period alternated between VA standard care and supportive neurofeedback. Trend lines illustrating the differential effects of VA SC on her self-reported symptoms with and without neurofeedback are presented, creating a naturalistic AB-AB-AB comparison.
