Discuss tDCS and how this technology may be applied to counseling.
What will be an ideal response?
Mattai, et al (2011) investigated the use of tDCS with childhood onset schizophrenia. They were initially interested how well children could tolerate the administration of tDCS. They did find that these children were able to tolerate sessions of tDCS. Fregni, Boggio, Nitsche, Rigonatti, and Pascul-Leone (2006) discussed the use of tDCS in the treatment of depression. They applied the positive electrode, anode, to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. They did not impact the symptoms of depression but they improve working memory through repeated administrations. The potential to use tDCS with mental health issues are significant and there needs to be additional research.
