Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 1998 Jun;23(2):93-106. doi: 10.1023/a:1022120506031.
AAPB and its membership are faced with a number of giant challenges, including but not limited to: (1) the cost savings efforts of third-party payors and managed care organizations; (2) the lack of public awareness of biofeedback and its usefulness; and (3) the lack of sufficient research data on both the effectiveness and efficacy of biofeedback. In spite of these challenges, there are windows of opportunity that have been or which could be created to move biofeedback further into the realm of conventional treatment. We must focus our efforts on working together to: (1) create strategic plans for creating the future of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback; (2) educate all decision makers, including the general public; (3) establish better relationships with other professionals with common interest; (4) conduct more efficacy and effectiveness research; and (5) create a demand for our services so that the public will be more willing to pay for our services "out of their own pocket." In order for this to happen, we must stop fighting with each other and direct our energies to productive activities that can change fantasies into realities.
美国应用生理生物反馈学会（AAPB）及其会员面临着诸多巨大挑战，包括但不限于：（1）第三方支付方和管理式医疗组织的成本节约措施；（2）公众对生物反馈及其效用缺乏认知；（3）关于生物反馈有效性和功效的研究数据不足。尽管存在这些挑战，但仍有已经出现或可能创造的机会之窗，可将生物反馈进一步推进到传统治疗领域。我们必须共同努力专注于：（1）制定战略计划以开创应用心理生理学和生物反馈的未来；（2）教育所有决策者，包括普通公众；（3）与其他有共同兴趣的专业人员建立更好的关系；（4）开展更多关于功效和有效性的研究；（5）创造对我们服务的需求，以便公众更愿意“自掏腰包”为我们的服务付费。为了实现这一点，我们必须停止相互争斗，将精力投入到能把幻想变为现实的富有成效的活动中。
