I found out today that Amazon is now taking pre-orders on a book for which I wrote a chapter. My aim in the chapter to to look at each patient as a whole person who needs to functions well as possible in our society. I present a number of case studies to show how this is applied. In an ideal world, I would like to see all doctors and medical health providers follow similar approaches. In the long run I think we could decrease health care costs and increase satisfaction with health care delivery.

Neurofeedback is a great way to treat concussions and other head injuries. It can begin as soon as the patient is medically stable enough to receive treatment. Of course, prevention is the best way to approach head injury, but once it has happened, neurofeedback usually provides an important element of rehabilitation and return to pre-injury function.
