In this book, I have attempted to evaluate critically the very
large literature which has accumulated in the area of biofeedback
over the past 10-15 years. As might be expected in any area of
psychology with clinical possibilities, the literature divides
itself into two main categories-fundamental research studies and
therapeutic studies. It is now apparent that the clinical
applications of biofeed back have far outstripped their fundamental
research bases, with the inevitable result that the initial wave of
enthusiasm may be replaced with an unnecessarily severe skepticism.
Either extreme position is unjustified. Biofeedback does rep resent
an important new approach to the elucidation of the role played by
internal systems in the adjustment of the organism to its
environment. But its potential will only be revealed if its use in
practice is soundly based on fundamental research. There are
promising signs that this is being realized so that there is cause
for optimism. Aubrey J. Yates Perth, Australia A Note on the
References With the exception of no more than two or three papers,
all the references in this book have been obtained and read.
However, many of them were published in journals which will not be
readily accessible to the reader who may be interested in
consulting more directly particular articles which attract his
attention."
