Alan McAllister, PhD, CPsych.
Alan has worked in the field of psychological services for over 45 years and was registered as a psychologist in Ontario in 1994. His academic preparation included a doctoral degree in philosophy (University of Toronto, 1975), a diploma in assessment and counselling from the Institute of Child Studies (1980), and a Ph.D. in psychology (York University, 1993). He has a long-standing interest in meditation and other approaches to neuroshaping. He started meditating while an undergraduate student at Stanford University and, more than 28 years ago, he began working with biofeedback and neurofeedback with the intent of healing the mind and optimizing functioning using these technologies. He has worked in schools, primary healthcare teams, and clinical settings with individuals of all ages. He is the author of The Attentive Mind Workbook: Self-healing through Meditation, which is a workbook on meditation based on contemporary psychological theory and research. His focus is on integrating psychotherapy, meditation, neurofeedback, and other neuroshaping techniques.
