What do Dr. Peper, Dr. Sigmund Freud and Arnold Schwarzenegger have in Common?
Many people in the United States will be surprised to learn that Europeans love Dr. Peper. Not the well-known soft drink but Dr. Erik Peper, President of the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe and recipient of the prestigious Arnold Schwarzenegger Award. Dr. Erik Peper opens the 13th Annual Conference of the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe in Eindhoven, The Netherlands on February 24, 2009. To register for the conference visit our website at http://www.bfe.org/events.html. Dr. Erik Peper is an international authority on Biofeedback and self-regulation. He is past President of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback and currently a tenured professor at San Francisco State University.

Dr. Erik Peper’s highly anticipated second book has just been released. Biofeedback Mastery: An Experiential Teaching and Self-Training Manual covers basic skills derived from more than 30 years of biofeedback training and teaching experience. The book and an accompanying software package have been adopted by the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna for the first ever European course on biofeedback. According to Mag Monika Fuhs, Editor in Chief of the foundation’s E-Journal Psychophysiology Today, “It is hard to believe that a Dutch psychologist trained at Harvard and now teaching in San Francisco would be the recipient of an award from an Austrian weight lifter that later became the Governor of California. Even more surprising when you think that Dr. Peper’s book "Biofeedback Mastery" is the standard textbook for the course that will be taught at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, and that biofeedback and neurofeedback are like taking the body and mind to the gym!” For details on how to order the E-journal, Dr. Peper’s book and software package go to http://www.bfe.org/events.html.

For North Americans unable to make the trip to Eindhoven, Dr. Peper is instructing a 5-Day Professional Biofeedback Mastery course in 2009 in New York in August (1-5) and October (24-28), designed to teach clinicians biofeedback fundamentals and cutting-edge applications. The program covers all 48 hours of the BCIA Didactic Biofeedback Education requirements through powerful demonstrations of biofeedback and adjunctive procedures, imaginative hands-on lab exercises with multi-channel computerized equipment, professional multimedia presentations, and comprehensive review materials.
