STEVEN MARCUS, PH.D.
1946 - 2022

BSF regrets to announce the passing of founding member and Director, Steve Marcus, Ph.D.

It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the recent passing of BSF Board member, Steve Marcus, Ph.D. He was a founding member of the Society in 1978 and has served continuously on the Board of Directors, and in various other capacities since then.

Steve was the self-appointed and Board endorsed “sergeant-at arms”, and a beloved fixture at BSF conferences along with his career-long professional partner, Mike Rothburd, Ph.D. Steve and Mike were known for their intelligent and often humorous commentary that livened our BSF workshops.

We offer our condolences to Steve's wife, Rocky, his family, friends, clients, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.

Topic: Pediatric headache, chronic pain, and sleep disorders
 Plans are in the works for BSF's next CE program!
BSF remains committed to the safety and health of its members and friends as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes. Our need to be close in spirit but distant physically has interrupted our CE workshop schedule, but not our planning. We have been in discussions with AAPB President and Cleveland Clinic pediatric psychologist, Ethan Benore, Ph.D. to present to us on "Non-pharmacological treatments for pediatric headache, chronic pain, and sleep disorders"

We are hoping to hold the meeting sometime in the summer or fall of 2022 at our usual venue, the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando. This, of course will depend on the continued decline of COVID-19 and what the science tells us about the advisability of doing so.

Watch this space and your email for updates on our workshop planning. And please stay safe!

Thanks to Mari Swingle, Ph.D. and all who contributed
to the success of BSF's last Orlando CE workshop


BSF expresses its appreciation to Mari Swingle, Ph.D. for her fascinating presentation, "Excessive and Non-complementary Screen Use; Effects on Health, Wellness, and Development: EEG assessment, diagnostic markers, and successful therapeutic interventions " at the BSF October 2019 CE meeting. The workshop was held at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando.

We are also grateful for the support of Bio Medical Instruments, the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), and all who attended and contributed to the lively sharing of ideas and warm collegiality. We look forward to seeing you October 2020 for our next CE program.
