On February 8, 2010, in Neurofeedback, by Christopher Fisher, PhD

The International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) called for researchers to submit papers on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), combat operational stress (COS), and terrorism trauma syndrome (TTS) for possible inclusion in the Journal of Neurotherapy. The target research population is soldiers and veterans. Check the end of this review to read the original announcement.

Dr. Kirsch writes:
The Journal of Neurotherapy (JN) is seeking articles on neurotherapies used for soldiers and veterans. This population is in dire need of help and we can provide it but we need to organize data to establish proof of efficacy. If you see any patients for these or related diagnoses, please consider contributing to this special issue of the JN.

Articles should relate to neurotherapy theories and practice and may consist of original research, reviews, individual case reviews or case series and tutorials. Non-military uses of neurotherapies for these disorders are also welcomed, such as PTSD in civilian populations, EMTs, police and veterans. Potential contributors are welcome to contact Dr. Dan Kirsch, special editor for this issue of the JN which will be 14(4).

Please feel free to look at our submission guidelines HERE prior to submitting manuscripts. Submissions are due May 30, 2010.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Daniel L. Kirsch, PhD, DAAPM, FAIS
