The BFE’s new Integrative Medicine software suite, created by Dr. Robert McCarthy, provides a comprehensive resource for biofeedback practitioners who want to set up their own state-of-the-art integrative medicine practice.
London, England (PRWEB) November 28, 2013
The Integrative Medicine suite supports techniques utilized and developed by Dr. Robert McCarthy throughout his 30 years providing assessment, diagnosis, remediation and treatment for individuals with emotional, physical, neurological and developmental problems. The software features a psychophysiological profile assessment protocol, a paradoxical temperature increase (PTI) assessment protocol, training screens, Excel reports and documents containing technical and clinical information provided directly from Dr. McCarthy’s practice.
The field of Integrative Medicine has grown considerably over the last decade. According to WebMD, “Both doctors and patients alike are bonding with the philosophy of integrative medicine and its whole-person approach - designed to treat the person, not just the disease. When asked about this holistic approach, Dr. McCarthy replied, “The contemporary philosophy of integrative medicine involves working directly in cooperation with traditional physicians and medical approaches. Working with the human being as one complex, interactive, biological, emotional and social system can result in enhanced health and well-being.”
Dr. McCarthy incorporates the use of biofeedback as part of his Integrative Medicine approach. According to Dr. McCarthy, "The underlying philosophy of biofeedback is to basically return responsibility for one's wellness back to the individual. This is done through increasing a patient's awareness of stress and improving the ability to voluntarily control psychophysiology through use of visualization and imagery. Biofeedback is now a scientifically-based treatment for a number of disorders including Attention-Deficit\Hyperactivity Disorder, Alcoholism, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Migraine and Tension Headaches, Hypertension, Incontinence, Insomnia and Traumatic Brain Injury."
Dr. McCarthy's optimism and belief in the limitless potential and buoyancy of the human spirit remains an endless source of motivation and excitement as he works with others on a daily basis. He will be joining the BFE online to present two lectures for professionals interested in learning more about his methods and the use of Integrative Medicine and biofeedback.
