Speaker:  Antoinette Giedzinska, PhD

This presentation will discuss implementing a viable bioneurofeedback program into an integrative mental health inpatient rehabilitation. Bio/neurofeedback history, principles, and indications will be presented in line with its dynamic and flexible system of training, education, and empowerment.
