Bill Scott's alpha/theta workshop trains clinicians in art of alpha/ theta training that for the purpose of resolving psychological depth issues, addictions and trauma as well as peak performance training for meditation enthusiasts, CEOs, atheletes and students. If you have trainee's who do not respond to the medical model of neurofeedback it may be time to introduce them to the power of alpha and the depth states of theta. Indeed, as Aaron Beck and associates made clear in the book "The Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders," unresolved Axis II conditions will eventually sabotage a successful therapy for an Axis I condition. That is, once the depression/anxiety lifts, the client resumes Axis II traits that will once again lead him/her into Axis I symptoms. Alpha/Theta training may well be the solution to Beck's dictum.

Historically, Neurofeedback has had two distinct branches or modalities.  One branch  can be traced to researchers including Barry Sterman who pioneered the neurotherapy for epilepsy. Afterwards other researchers including Joel Lubar and Margaret Ayers applied Neurofeedback to a host of other conditions.  The other branch is more closely associated with the earlier research of Joseph Kamiya and the advent alpha training.  His work was built upon by Green, Green, Walters, Budzynski and culminated with the landmark studies of Peniston & Kulkosky who designed the alpha/theta training protocol for veterans of the Vietnam war who suffered from PTSD and alcoholism.  Jim Robins, the author of “The Symphony of the Brain” described alpha/theta training as deep states therapy.

Bill Scott presents alpha/theta training as well as "beta" training which is a unique computer driven method of doing beta/SMR training. Bill will demonstrate an approach to neurofeedback that has clinical application to a wide variety of conditions that are typically encountered in a neurofeedback practice. click here to learn more.

A Snapshot of an Alpha Theta Session
The sensor is placed at Pz with the reference ear clip being placed on the left ear and the ground ear clip on the right.
It’s done with the eyes closed with the client sitting at about a 45 degree angle.
A snap shot of an alpha theta session:
First 15 minutes is spent quantifying goals and processing what’s happened since the last session.
About 3 minutes are spent placing the scalp sensor at Pz with the reference ear clip on the left ear and the ground ear clip on the right.The feedback sounds are started.
The client is asked to close their eyes.
They are asked to sit back at a 45 degree angle in a recliner chair. continued.....
