Dear Members I think that it is very important to integrate also the "grass-root" practioners - level. Otherwise it will happen like in many alternative methods that we will have a splitting of scientific level and a very low level of really grass-root people. That will have many implementations to the scientific field especially in our situation as a not yet well knowened method, with many open questions, and a very critical field of academic scientists. In a reasonable level of academic accepted neurofeedback i would be then very hard. I suggest that it will be better to have a contolled integration of educational Neurofeedbackers than a uncontrolled situation which will be more negative also for scientists. best regards cornelia dollfus Dear John, > Thank you for keeping us up to date with members comments. > I think I want to echo Juri's comments about the need for space for grass > -root practitioners as well as more academic scientists. > It did concern me in Winterthur when many of the academics appeared to > show > little or no interest in clinical presentations. > However as you know I am deeply concerned about training in Neurofeedback > and the constant pushing of the BCIA as a training model which, in my > view, > is far too basic and insufficient. > I think that we should have a European based training and the work done by > the E-SNR so far is excellent. > A second concern is the viable funding of a separate organisation. > I am not sure how many members we would have, but if Juri is right and it > is > only 20 then that is a consideration when we are thinking about viability. > Best Wishes > Lesley > > > > > > > -- Cornelia Dollfus Dr. med., Ärztin für Psychotherapie und Neurofeedback Feldeggstr. 12 8008 Zürich Switzerland Co-Leiterin Neurofeedback-Institut Schweiz Mitglied u.a.
