Technology is shaping our world in unprecedented ways and some technological advances will inevitably change the way we think of health and human services. Although we often discuss evidence based and scientifically valid methods of treatment in mental health, we generally do not discuss technology’s potential impact on the way we conceptualize and innovate psychotherapy and other mental health services. Integrating neurofeedback with psychotherapy is an example of how technology can be used to positively improve mental health services, a growing need in our increasingly complex world.
