Dissociative Disorders

We have used neurofeedback for significant success in treating dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder.

​

A 1991 Peniston & Kulkosky study added 30 minutes of alpha-theta neurofeedback to traditional treatment for one group of Vietnam combat veterans. The 30-month follow-up reported that all 14 traditional treatment clients experienced relapse and rehospitalization compared to 3 of the 15 neurofeedback clients. Alpha-theta neurofeedback training seemed to provide self-management skills similar to self-hypnotic or meditation skills that profoundly helped these clients.

​

Tom and Linda Brownback were among the first in the country to combine the traditional psychotherapeutic techniques used to treat dissociative disorders with cognitive-behavior therapy. Consequently, clients seldom need hospitalization. In addition, clients with a dissociative disorder may incorporate neurofeedback into their treatment programs to speed the healing process and decrease memory intrusion into daily living.
