Interpersonal Biofeedback: Using Biofeedback and Neurofeedback with Couples and Dyads

Description

About this Workshop

Biofeedback Therapies have almost 60 years of research and clinical application while Marital Counseling has many more years and a higher usage rate. Research on both fields as a hybrid is minimal and recent technological advances have made the study of Interpersonal Biofeedback more accessible. Clinical usage of Interpersonal Biofeedback has been reported to have success by these presenters and others. The goal of this presentation is to educate participants in how to use Biofeedback and Neurofeedback with dyads, whether they be marital, therapist/patient or other intimate relationship. The workshop will review existing research, discuss marital cases, review marital and other counseling techniques, as that is where most interpersonal neuropsychology research comes from, and have live demonstrations with opportunity for participants to conduct mock sessions. Demonstrations will be made with 2 qEEGs and explore any changes following Interpersonal Biofeedback and Neurofeedback sessions.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate understanding of the role of psychophysiological assessment in light of interpersonal dynamics.

2. Demonstrate understanding in how to integrate biofeedback into interpersonal counseling settings including marriage counseling and family counseling with children and adolescents, that of the therapist and patient and other dyads.

3. Create treatment plans to integrate biofeedback into relationship focused therapy.

4. Demonstrate understanding of Psychophysiological Profiling of Couples for research and clinical purposes which can be extended to other types of interpersonal dyads.

5. Understand the role of obtaining a qEEG of each person in the dyad (i.e. husband and wife, other intimate partners).
