Getting Started with Neurofeedback: Traditional psychotherapy VS Neurotherapy

I've never heard of "neurotherapy" before, so I was intrigued by this new kind of therapy and read a book about this.

Traditional psychotherapy has mainly two intervention tools: talk and medication. Of course, talk therapy has been an effective modality even now, but the result tends to be subjective. Furthermore, medication can’t exclude a possibility of side effects though it changes our brain activity directly. Against this backdrop, neurotherapy has drawn attention as a new type of psychotherapy. Neurotherapy has a unique modality, neurofeedback. In a word, the characteristic of neurofeedback is that it “is similar to a comprehensive exercise program because it strengthens neural pathways while increasing mental endurance and flexibility” (Demos, 2005, p. 5). As mentioned above, the traditional psychotherapy has faced a challenge to reveal the effect explicitly, and, in fact, this is one of the limitations in the traditional psychotherapy. However, I think that neurotherapy will play a key role to connect the subjective assessments with the objective effects by using the neurofeedback system.
