The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) released their “5 Year Strategic Plan for 2009,” which calls for additional research for “The Exciting Potential of Neurofeedback” (pg. 33). A large national organization’s public recognition of the potential benefits of neurofeedback for substance abuse represents an important development for the field of neurofeedback and is a testament to the slow, but increasing, acceptance of neurotherapy. Of course, the Strategic Plan discusses other important treatments, such as medication and behavioral approaches. Check the end of this report for a link to download a free PDF of NIDA’s 5 Year Strategic Plan.
For your quick reference, neurofeedback is mentioned on pages 26, 32, and 33. Page 33 also has a particularly attractive sidebar entitled, “The Exciting Potential of Neurofeedback.”
