Biofeedback: A Practioner’s Guide (4th Edition)

Mark S. Schwartz, Ph.D. and Frank Andrasik, Ph.D. (Editors)

As part of developing the 4th Edition of Biofeedback: A Practitioner’s Guide, we are developing a website supplement to the printed text published by Guilford Publications. This supplement is being developed on this website.

The rationale for this supplement includes:

  • Reducing the number of pages compared with the prior edition
  • Permitting the addition of several new chapters
  • Facilitating added content for all chapters that would not and could not be published in the printed text
  • Allowing periodic updating of content by authors
  • Adding an item bank available to selected qualified professionals
  • Providing an opportunity for readers to make comments and ask questions

This book's 2nd and 3rd Editions involved considerable updating, major changes, and many additions. The same is true for the 4th Edition. There are many new chapters, considerable updating of many chapters, and several additions such as the website supplement.

The website supplement will be available in 2016. Each chapter number is listed with links to Google Documents.

Note that the website supplements will not substitute in any way for the printed text.

Guilford Press is shipping the hardcover of the Fourth Edition as of March 2016 and the softcover as of April 2017.

history of the prior three editions is contained elsewhere on this website.
