dear members concering the degree one needs to achieve before being able to offer nf-services, much i wanted to write about has already been pointed out by cornelia dollfus. personally i do favour an independent european society which takes the special european situation into account. i see that there are various prerequisits in different countries concerning regulation of offering nf-services. in switzerland, for instance, there is a possibility for people out of the complementary medicine sector to work with nf and to be even covered by health insurance. so by just accepting practitioners with certain degrees, these folks (including myself) would not have the chance to get under the roof of san. so my suggestion is to take into account the different country's laws and make membership available for all those who meet the regulations of their own countries, apart from the neurofeedback-education they went through, which standards will be set by san. best regards stephan odermatt, switzerland
