Editorial Review:An introduction to the innovative therapy that restores optimal functioning of the brain after physical or emotional trauma• Provides an alternative to the more invasive therapies of electroshock and drugs• Shows how this therapy helps ameliorate anxiety and depression as well as childhood developmental disorders• Includes extraordinary case histories that reveal the powerful results achievedAccording to the Centers for Disease Control, each year 260,000 people are hospitalized with traumatic brain injuries. The Brain Injury Association reports 1.5 million injuries, many of which go undiagnosed but which lead to all kinds of cognitive and emotional impairments. While neuroscience has learned an enormous amount about the connection between brain trauma and personality changes, the methods proposed for resolving these alterations are generally limited to drug therapy or surgeries.This book explores a much less invasive but highly effective technique of restoring brain function: the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS). Developed by Dr. Len Ochs in 1992, it has had extraordinary results using weak electromagnetic fields to stimulate brain-wave activity and restore brain flexibility and function. The treatment works across a broad spectrum of human activity, increasing the brain’s abilities to adapt to the imbalances caused by physical trauma or emotional disorders--both on the basic level and in the more subtle areas of cognitive, affective, and spiritual processes that make us truly human. While the treatment has had remarkable results with individuals who have experienced severe physical trauma to the head and brain, Stephen Larsen sees it also as an important alternative to chemical approaches for such chronic behavioral disorders as ADHD and monopolar and bipolar depression.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Chronicles the development of neurofeedback
Stephen Larsen, Psychology Professor Emeritus at SUNY, chronicles the development of neurofeedback - an electronic feedback of brainwave frequencies that elicits amazing healing responses in people with post- concussion syndromes, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, ADHD and more. Larsen focuses largely on the methods developed by Len Ochs, PhD, an innovative explorer in these realms.
The earlier approach of EEG biofeedback entrained the brain rhythms for alpha or theta frequencies, ... Read More
Rating: - LENS: Worth Reading Worth Learning
I read this book before taking the training to become a LENS practitioner. The books offers hope for very difficult conditions that regular "talk therapy" can begin to approach. I have been practicing Neurofeedback for three years and wanted to understand and learn an approach where the client does not have to work so hard and where the results are similar or better.
I recommend this book and the LENS approach to all clinicians wanting to add a tremendous resource to their therapeutic "toolbox". ... Read More
Rating: - Oops
I misread the information about this book, and didn't realize until I received it that it is for therapists who have the technology to implement the methods talked about in the book.
Rating:  - LENS feedback system
I am a Family Physician in group practice for the past 25 years and have used traditional neurofeedback since 2003. Since 2006 I have used the LENS system, described quite well in Stephen Larsen' book. The LENS technique is effortless for the patients and much faster in time and number of sessions needed to train compared to traditional neurofeedback. We are not programming the patients, as the feedback given is their own EEG pattern, at a slightly different frequency. Homeopathy on the scalp? Perhaps. ... Read More
Rating:  - Not about neurofeedback
LENS is a technique of using short duration, low intensity radio waves at the same frequency of the brain, or with a specific offset, applied through an external scalp electrode to break up stuck brain patterns. The brain adapts and assumes a more flexible or more functional pattern, and the patient gets better. This book is about the results of a specific neurotherapy technique. It's not neurofeedback, although the author seems to think this verbal slight of hand is OK. The author claims that LENS is neurofeedback ... Read More
