Review
Mark S. Schwartz has done it again! The new third edition of Biofeedback provides an excellent update to the classic text. Schwartz and his new coeditor, Frank Andrasik, have produced an encyclopedic and up-to-date overview of biofeedback principles and applications... This comprehensive resource should be on the shelf of every clinician and researcher using biofeedback. - Donald Moss, PhD, Editor, Biofeedback magazine

Biofeedback, Third Edition, is the essential guide to contemporary biofeedback treatment. It provides practical, state-of-the-art treatment protocols and also includes the references to supportive research that are required by today's evidence-based clinician. As a rehabilitation professional, I found the chapters on neuromuscular reeducation, musculoskeletal pain, and pelvic floor disorders to be both interesting and clinically relevant. - Susan J. Middaugh, PhD, PT, Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina
