Biofeedback and behavioral approaches in Japan.

A number of studies and case histories involving the use of biofeedback and behavioral approaches throughout Japan have been selected from Japanese journals and summarized. Areas of biofeedback research covered are experimental, clinical and psychological/educational. The behavioral approaches mentioned have been limited to those currently being used in Japan in conjunction with various biofeedback modalities. A brief explanation of a new biofeedback-monitored multi-modal psychosomatic therapy approach developed in Japan, termed cybernation therapy, is also presented along with current Japanese thought on the use of biofeedback in psychotherapy.
