Review
“This is a truly groundbreaking book. Sebern Fisher combines a mastery of neurofeedback with a real knack for applying neuroscience to do nothing less than lay the groundwork for a new, powerful, mind-brain approach to the most serious cases of developmentally-based psychological trauma. Even if you don’t practice neurofeedback, the treasure of precious clinical insights it offers so deepen an appreciation of the brain-mind interaction, that you can’t help but be changed by this book.” (Norman Doidge, MD, author of The Brain that Changes Itself)
“This book illustrates the masterful use of neurofeedback in psychotherapy for developmental trauma disorders. A must-read for all clinicians involved in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders!” (Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Research Unit, University of Western Ontario)
“This is the year, or perhaps the century, of the brain. What more can we ask than to have someone tell us how to change the brain in ways that improve our lives. In this book Sebern Fisher does just that. Over the many years of our many discussions about what works and what doesn’t work in treating mental health problems, she has made a convincing argument that neurofeedback as a direct approach to changing behavioral patterns of the brain is an approach worth putting your money on. A truly wonderful, clinically insightful book.” (Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Director of the Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington)

I highly recommend Fisher’s new book for all clinicians working with people who have suffered developmental trauma, and especially for neurofeedback and biofeedback therapists. This text is also very informative for anyone interested in understanding the profound changes that neurofeedback training empowers the mind-brain-body-self to create through this unique type of self-regulation training.
Fisher brings decades of clinical skills and insights gained from working with children and adults suffering from some of the most debilitating and intractable disorders, made all the more challenging since they have so often been caused by the abuse and abandonment inflicted by parents and caretakers. Through the many cases of developmental trauma she discusses we see the extremes of dysregulation in the brain and nervous system. The subtitle of Fisher’s book, Calming The Fear Driven Brain, points directly to the critical issue that we as neurofeedback/biofeedback clinicians address so uniquely and powerfully with these modalities.
The extremely disruptive nature of chronic fear on the brain, autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and really the entire body, in addition to how it distorts interpersonal relations and one’s relationship to oneself, is painfully apparent in individuals who have been through abuse, abandonment and other forms of violent trauma. Fisher makes the point that fear plays a major role in many psychological and physical disorders. She discusses her own discovery of neurofeedback training as an intervention that can alter the circuitry of the brain in ways that no other therapy she had employed in decades of clinical work could do and led to amazing positive outcomes for her patients.
