Book Reviews of Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution
Book Review: Alternative Treatment Information
Summary: 5 Stars
A child's brain is constantly changing, so how safe is it to treat childhood disorders with medication? Is your child trapped in the cycle of taking prescription drugs for the side effects of other drugs? Are you searching for an alternative?
Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution discusses successful treatment with neurofeedback. Doctors Hill and Castro provide a wealth of information about this method, and address its effects on disorders ranging from autism to headaches. They cite specific cases as examples, and provide illustrations of the checklists used to assess the progress of the neurofeedback sessions.
As an adult with OCD and ADD, I am always concerned about my son either inheriting the same traits, or simply picking up my quirks from being around me on a daily basis. Consequently, I found the chapter on temperature training to be particularly interesting. Apparently, children have an easier time adjusting their body temperature than adults do, when learning how to respond to stress.
While many chapters refer to "trainers" and neurofeedback machines to monitor electrical activity in the brain, as well as other responses from the body, the science behind the method did not strike me as some radical new approach. Rather, to a certain extent, biofeedback treatments are akin to the meditative qualities of natural healing found throughout history.

Summary of Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution
Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven form of brain-wave feedback that trains the child?s brain to overcome slow brain-wave activity, and increase and maintain its speed permanently. Neurofeedback is quick, noninvasive, and cost effective. In fact, 80 percent of the time, neurofeedback is effective without any of the side effects associated with drugs commonly used for such childhood disorders as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sleep disorders, and emotional problems.
Healing Young Brains examines each disorder separately and explains in lay terms:
? The manifestation of the disorder
? The diagnosis
? The rationale for treating the disorder with brain-wave training
Healing Young Brains is parents' guide to all they need to know about treating their children with neurofeedback as an alternative to drugs.
