One aspect of biofeedback treatment with chronically incapacitated persons concerns their resistance to getting better. In effect, the removal of their symptom is equivalent to undercutting a characteristic way of relating to themselves and to the world, and hence, is opposed. Even though many biofeedback procedures are impressively effective, the therapist must watch for another symptom reemerging in the place of the older somatic complaint, or for psychologically regressive attempts to preserve one’s character defenses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
