Dr. Bolea mentions a woman in her 40's who's had simple schizophrenia for 20 years. No interventions had ever worked.

(Some very interesting observations -- strongly stated)

boleaDr. Angelo Bolea has probably seen more difficult psychiatric in-patients with neurofeedback than anyone. He's also seen a large number of ADD, depressed, anxious patients among others. 

He's got some very interesting insights and experience to share.   He was a speaker on neurofeedback at the American Psychiatric Conference in Toronto in 2006, and has been teaching neurophysiology and neurofeedback for many years. .

Dr. Bolea started general biofeedback in 1987-88. He added EEG biofeedback in 1989-90. He worked in the psychiatric section of a hospital - and was the first we know of to add neurofeedback there.  He established one of the first neuropsych labs of it's kind for the psychiatric field. He's also maintained a part time private practice, and has taught at two universities.  

After retiring in 2004 from the hospital, he now lectures and teaches, while continuing to see patients in his very busy private practice, located in Bethesda and Annapolis, MD.  This is a man who clearly loves working with patients.
