Workshop
Overview:
- Presenters:
- Joel
F. Lubar, Ph.D., University of Tennessee
- Judith
O. Lubar, LCSW-BCD, Southeastern Biofeedback and
Neurobehavioral Institute
Because of the complexity of disorders that are now being
evaluated and treated using neurofeedback interventions, it
is becoming increasingly necessary to employ quantitative
EEG analyses ranging from single to 19 channels in order to
develop appropriate protocols for treatment. For example,
more than six subtypes of attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder have been identified through QEEG analysis. This
workshop will demonstrate--using equipment and actual
participants--the recording of multi-channel EEG, the use of
databases, advanced artifact rejection, and analysis for
choosing appropriate protocols for treatment, and use of
LORETA imaging. Equally important is the integration of the
information obtained from QEEG analysis with both
neurofeedback training and psychotherapy for individuals and
families in order to increase the transfer of training to
real life situations.
Based
on the content of this session, the participants will be
able to
1. Discuss the essentials of EEG pattern recognition
2. Record 19 channel EEG information and perform
quantitative analysis of EEG
3. Utilize training protocols that are established based on
quantitative EEG
4. Perform actual neurofeedback training
5. Explain how neurofeedback is integrated with individual
or family therapy.

success in neurofeedback.
-
Interview
techniques that help the patient and their family to
define and sometimes reframe goals in treatment
-
Rapid

Joel F. Lubar Ph.D.
Dr. Joel Lubar received his B.S. and Ph.D.
from the Division of the Biological Sciences and Department
of Biopsychology at the University of Chicago. He has
published more than 85 papers, numerous book chapters, as
well as eight books in the areas of Neuroscience and Applied
Psychophysiology. He has been a Regional Editor for the
Journal Physiology and Behavior, an Associate Editor for
Biofeedback and Self Regulation, and is currently one of the
editors of the Journal of Neurotherapy.
He has held the position of Assistant
Professor at the University of Rochester. Leaving behind his
Associate Professorship, he is currently Full Professor at
the University of Tennessee.
Dr. Lubar is the past president of
AABP(Associantion for Applied Psychophysiology) He has been
the president of the Academy of Certified Neurotherapist
which now offers specialty certifications in EEG Biofeedback
as part of the Biofeedback Certification Institute of
America (BCIA). He has also been the president of the EEG
Division of the AAPB. He has served on the BCIA Board of
Directors, and as a member of the executive board of the
AAPB. He was previously an officer on the board of the
Biofeedback Research Society. He was the first President of
the Biofeedback Society of Tennessee. Since 1979 he has been
co-director of the Southeastern Biofeedback and
Neurobehavioral Institute, in Knoxville, Tennessee. Dr.
Lubar has presented his research at many workshops in
Europe, South America, Canada, Israel, Australia and to many
State and National meetings of Biofeedback Organizations. He
was an invited keynote speaker at the Third International
Conference in Biobehavioral Self Regulation and Health, held
in Tokyo, Japan, October, 1993.
Dr. Lubar was responsible for developing
the use of EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) as a treatment
modality for children, adolescents, and adults with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, starting with his
controlled studies in the mid-1970's. This application of
Neurofeedback is now becoming widespread in clinics and
schools throughout the United States, Canada, Australia,
Israel, Europe and Mexico. Currently, more than 1500 health
care organizations are using the EEG biofeedback protocols
that Dr. Lubar has developed. Dr. Lubar is currently
developing databases for the assessment of individuals with
ADD/ADHD, and is a consulting in several controlled studies
evaluating the effectiveness of Neurofeedback. In a 1992
publication, in Pediatric Neurology, he and his colleagues
showed, for the first time, that children with the
inattentive form of ADD (without hyperactivity), differ
significantly in terms of quantitative EEG patterns, from
matched control non-ADD children.

Judith O. Lubar M.A., MS., LCSW.,
BCD., BCIA
Judith Lubar has been working in
the fields of Neurofeedback, family and individual
therapy with children, adolescents and adults who
experience ADD/HD for the past 23 years. She has
presented professional papers and workshops on these
topics in the USA, Germany, Venezuela, Canada,
Puerto Rico, Israel, Australia and Europe.
Her specialty is combining
therapeutic concepts with EEG biofeedback into a
clinical methodology in which each of the elements
enriches the other. Mrs. Lubar has been a member of
the Association for Applied Psycho physiology and
Biofeedback (AAPB) and the past President of the
Biofeedback Society of Tennessee. She is formerly
president of the South American Chapter of the AAPB,
and was Secretary of the Society for Neuronal
Regulation (SNR). She is currently a member of the
AAPB Board.
Judith Lubar has been presenting
individualized tutorial training workshops for
individuals, health care organizations and private
practices in both general biofeedback, and the
specialty area of EEG neurofeedback since the late
1970's. She has worked with both private and public
schools in facilitating the integration of
neurofeedback for ADD/HD with curricula.
This workshop offers 16 hours of diadictic
BCIA-EEG credit toward certification.
If you wish to obtain this credit there is a BCIA
fee of $48.00. This should be paid as a check made
out to BCIA and presented to the Lubars at the time
of the workshop. If you decide to obtain this credit
toward the requirement of 40 hours of required
diadictic training you will recieve at the
completion of the workshop a certificate issued by
Southeastern Biofeedback Institute who is the BCIA-EEG
approved organization for this workshop. This is not
a requirement for taking this workshop but an added
benefit for those interested in obtaining BCIA-EEG
certification.
