2016 – EEG Neurofeedback as Adjunct to Psychotherapy for Complex Developmental Trauma-Related Disorders: Case Study and Treatment Rationale. Fisher, Lanius, Frewen. Traumatology 2016, Vol. 22, No. 4, 255–260. © 2016 American Psychological Association.
The present clinical case study describes the long term treatment of “Bea”, a survivor of repeated and complex developmental trauma, via trauma-focused psychotherapy combined with electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback. Bea’s case is described alongside a brief introduction to a rationale for including EEG neurofeedback as an intervention for complex developmental trauma-related disorders. Future research directions are discussed.
