Psychologists in outpatient settings practicing in a context of managed care, are tasked with providing quality, empirically supported treatment in a timely manner. Interventions for anxiety and depression, blending the advances of neuroscience with psychotherapy need to be vetted empirically in practical contexts, which was the purpose of this study. In this quasi-experimental, archival study, NeurOptimalRTM neurofeedback, grounded in the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, was provided to one group and compared to a second group who received NeurOptimalRTM during psychotherapy to address depression and anxiety in adults in an outpatient context. Participants were referred or self-referred for outpatient treatment for anxiety and/or depression and were between the ages of 18 and 80. Mean cortical amplitude across 16 targeted frequency bands during 30 second recordings of EEG was calculated prior to session 1 and at the conclusion of session 8 of treatment. Data were analyzed using 2 x 2 mixed factorial ANOVA (repeated measures, within- and between-subjects effects) and were assessed for main effects of time and group and any interaction between the two. It was anticipated that both groups would evidence a reduction in mean cortical amplitude, which is an indicator of decreased stress and anxiety, and that the group receiving the hybrid intervention of NeurOptimalRTM training during psychotherapy would achieve greater reduction in mean cortical amplitude at the conclusion of eight sessions. There was no significant interaction between the variables of time and group. The main effect of time was not a statistically significant factor, and the main effect of group was statistically significant within the context of the study. The hypothesis that the group receiving the hybrid intervention of NeurOptimalRTM during psychotherapy would achieve a greater reduction in mean cortical amplitude was supported. Finally, the between-subjects effect of group was a statistically significant factor, suggesting the robustness of the hybrid intervention as it performed slightly better than neurofeedback alone.
