F A Q

Who Are Our Courses For?
Clinicians, Educators, & Coaches.
We do not offer training directly to patients.

Can I Get CEC's?
YES! Our courses offer between 35 and 50 CE's. Our  CE courses are approved / accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), California's Boards of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, and (for most) BCIA.

How Do I Know These are Quality Courses?
Our Programs, Courses and Instructors are independently evaluated by state and national organizations, such as BCIA, APA, and NBCC so you can be assured of a top notch experience.

Are our Courses Approved by BCIA?
YES! We provide the required training for certification in general biofeedback, EEG biofeedback / neurofeedback, and pelvic floor disorders. You can also use our courses for recertification.

What Education Level Are Our Courses Set At?
Postgraduate (Masters and Doctorate level).
Note that these are difficult courses. They require about the same amount of time, work, and effort as any three credit graduate science class.

How Do I Take (sign-up for / register for) a Course?
These are distance education courses. Just purchase the course here at our web site and use our secure ordering site to pay by credit card or check in US funds. You can start when you wish to and work at your own pace.   

What Are Classes Like?
The courses are very similar to "in-person"¯ courses except that you communicate with your instructor via phone or e-mail. We make sure every student gets personal attention from instructors with decades of experience. You receive CDs containing audiovisual lectures, reading material files, movies, etc. You start the class when you are ready and work at your own pace. For most courses you also read a required text. After you attend each lecture, you answer a set of short essay questions and e-mail them to your instructor. You and your instructor communicate by e-mail or phone to go over any questions you have and to add additional information you may want.

Telephone-Based Conferences in Critical Areas of Psychophysiology

PROBLEM: Both clinical and research areas of psychophysiology are rife with unsolved dilemmas. While they are occasionally discussed at meetings, insufficient time is usually available to consider them sufficiently to develop potential solutions. A major impediment is that the key people with the knowledge to work out the problems simply aren’t together long enough to work on the problem together. The Foundation hopes to rectify this problem by conducting telephone based conferences during which key people have ample time over a period of weeks to consider the problem and each other’s ideas.

INTENT: The Behavioral Medicine R&T Foundation supports telephone based conferences in critical areas of psychophysiology. The intent is to provide a way for a very few experts in an area of psychophysiology to communicate in an effort to solve a crucially important issue in the field. For example, a realistic placebo for EEG biofeedback is desperately needed.

PROCESS: Anyone within the field of psychophysiology may recommend a topic for teleconference evaluation. Once a topic is approved by the Foundation’s board, one of the board members will coordinate the conference. A key expert in the field will be chosen to chair the conference and a panel of experts will be selected by the board member and chair. While many formats for the conference are possible, the most probable to produce results will be to have the panel meet for four weeks in one hour blocks. Each week, the panel will meet for one hour wherein a panel member will give a 20-minute presentation that will be followed by discussion.  A condition of support is that the chair and members of the panel agree to develop a final report in publishable format within two months of the end of the conference.  The foundation will fund the conference call and perform all administrative and coordination functions. No funds are available to pay for the panel’s time. Anyone interested in organizing a conference should contact the Foundation’s director, Dr. Sherman, at rsherman@nwinet.com.
