PH, so I checked out the suposedly clinically validating article(The Journal of Clinical Psychology, 56(1), 11-21). The methodology is shoddy at best, piss poor at worst. The included questionairres with the atacking anxiety box set when people ordered it then had them send it in, they then basically did a t-test and found that there was a significant difference between before and after treatment. As all good science conducted before them, there was no random assignment nor control group. (Imagine me rolling my eyes) If this can get published than anything can. They billed it as a "naturalistic study". Aside from the garbage support, I don't think that self help stuff should imediately be regected by teh scientific community, but it should be held to the same standards of empirical support as anything else. It kinda makes me want to blow off my doctorate though.

So its supposedly a biofeedback device to help you synchronize your breathing with your vagus nerve activity. No publications yet (ongoing clinical trials), but the theory seems interesting. What do you think?
