Dr. Fred Shaffer, Professor of Psychology at Truman State University, designed Biofeedback Tutor to provide students with an up-to-date textbook and professionals with an in-depth review for the BCIA General Biofeedback Certification Exam. The depth of coverage is intended to exceed the BCIA Blueprint of Knowledge to provide the most complete preparation we can.
We recommend that professionals invest in Moss, McGrady, Davies, and Wickramasekera's (2003) Handbook of mind-body medicine for primary care, Peper and Gibney's (2006) Muscle biofeedback at the computer, Schwartz and Andrasik's (2003) Biofeedback: A practitioner's guide (3rd ed.), Striefel's (2004) Practice guidelines and standards for providers of biofeedback and applied psychophysiological services, and Yucha and Gilbert's (2004) Evidence-based practice in biofeedback and neurofeedback. These are indispensable references that belong on every practitioner's bookshelf.
Peper, Gibney, Tylova, Harvey, and Combatalade's (in press) Mastery through experience is a superb laboratory manual for training students and professional staff. The laboratory exercises are well designed, beautifully illustrated, and closely coordinated with Biofeedback Tutor.
