Chapters four through seven focus on specific technology-based treatments. It provides brief description on virtual reality psychotherapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, and heart rate variability biofeedback. Chapter eight describes clinical measurement and patient feedback systems. Chapter nine is about technology-assisted deliberate practice for improving psychotherapy effectiveness. Chapter ten shows us how to use technology to advance the training, often without having to leave the office.
