Just sat in on a presentation arguing that neurofeedback could affect positive clinical responses in patients who made little progress with other short-term therapies. Even suggesting that these modalities have shown results with persistently suicidal patients treated on an outpatient basis.
Hi Tony, here is a paper on a single-session neurofeedback application for PTSD. But it's mainly on chronic patients. If you are interested in more information, I recommend you contact the psychiatrist (Prof. Lanius) to see if she has treated any acute patients.

Complex PTSD(with dissociation)is currently a modern problem is psychotherapy, and neurofeedback is a part of this instrumental intervention. We are not dealing with unconscious process of learning. We are OK with conscious learning CBT on the left side of the brain. I think that more hope can bring new drugs which allow on immediate access to the reward system what of course will change the patient's belief that he/she will be unhappy forever.
KT Brady at MUSC has been using fMRI neurofeedback for drug craving (c.f. MEDLINE)
For reported research, there are various studies regarding "neurofeedback" or "EEG biofeedback" at the NIH's Entrez PubMed Website. The best bet may be to enter an advanced search with the specific condition, e. g. depression, PTSD using each of the terms in quotes above. Though, they may not specifically refer to Acute Inpatient Psychiatric participants. Specific studies include the Peniston Protocol. I think his original research was in a VA hospital. You may also want to try the Clinical Trials Network for NIH for current or recent sutdies.
