Although biofeedback was developed by psychologists, it has been most widely used in the treatment of psychophysiological and medical disorders and less frequently used to control symptoms of psychopathology and mental disorders. The authors review studies in which biofeedback was used in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, insomnia, alcohol and drug dependence, and tardive dyskinesia. The studies indicate that biofeedback can help selected patients modify specific responses or response patterns associated with a mental disorder. It appears to be most suitable for patients and disorders in which physiological processes can be identified as relevant. However, the findings offer little support for biofeedback as the treatment of choice for any mental disorder.
尽管生物反馈疗法是由心理学家开发的，但它在心理生理疾病和医学疾病的治疗中应用最为广泛，而在控制精神病理学症状和精神障碍方面的应用则较少。作者回顾了一些研究，这些研究将生物反馈疗法用于治疗精神分裂症、抑郁症、焦虑症、失眠症、酒精和药物依赖以及迟发性运动障碍患者。研究表明，生物反馈疗法可以帮助部分患者改变与精神障碍相关的特定反应或反应模式。它似乎最适合那些生理过程被认为与之相关的患者和疾病。然而，这些研究结果几乎没有为生物反馈疗法作为任何精神障碍的首选治疗方法提供支持。
