| Stress Control Biofeedback Card (Sold in packets of 250).
Stress leads to a decrease in blood flow to the hands, which causes the hands to become colder. To determine your stress level, you place your thump on the black, temperature sensitive square on the card. If you are completely relaxed, the colour on the square turns blue/deep blue. If you are nervous, stressed, or very stressed, the colour on the card turns green, red, and black respectively. The stress card should only be used at a room temperature of 21oC - 23oC. The card should reflect black before you start training. If the card shows any other colour before you place your finger on it, the surrounding temperature is inappropriate for training. In cool or warm weather, the stress card can be used indoors and outdoors throughout the day. In hot or cold weather, you can only practice in an air-conditioned room. DISCOUNT IS OFFERED FOR BULK PURCHASES (MINIMUM 500). FOR QUOTATION contact: clinic@biofeedback.co.za

| Journal Article:: Psychology Is Enirely Physical
The idea that the mind exists as an immaterial entity separate from the body is a myth. We perpetuate this myth by our continued use of the word “psychology”, which literally means the study of the mind, soul or spirit. Contemporary psychologists do not study the mind or the soul. They study human and animal behaviour. This paper addresses one of the most amazing blind-spots in psychology – the failure by psychologists to recognize that all the so-called psychological phenomena are, at all times and in all respects, physical, rather than mental or immaterial processes. To illustrate this, the author attempts to show that concepts from physics, chemistry, and biology are necessary and sufficient to explain behaviour. All behaviours are actions or motions,
which, in terms of physics, imply force, energy, and matter. The paper ends with a discussion of the implications for adopting a physical approach to all, and not just some, disciplines in psychology. One of the implications of this approach is that the use of the word “psychology” itself should be discontinued, and replaced by a name such as “behavioural neuroscience”. Adoption of a physical approach to behaviour has major implications for the training of psychologists and the positioning of the profession within society.
