- Summary:
- Insomnia is one of the most frequently reported health problems yet, until now, the literature has lacked a structured and practical approach for clinical management. This volume addresses the need by offering a complete, multifaceted cognitive-behavioral treatment program for chronic insomnia. Using a conceptual model that emphasizes the interplay between maladaptive behavior patterns and dysfunctional sleep cognitions, the book covers all aspects of assessment and treatment. In addition, it is the first to present a systematic approach to withdrawing drug-dependent insomniacs from hypnotic medications. Designed to be a hands-on resource, the book guides readers step by step through the program, showing how to implement treatment procedures in sequence and how to tailor specific elements to the needs of individual patients. It also features useful support materials, including a structured clinical interview for insomnia, detailed outlines of sequential therapy sessions, and sleep diaries, questionnaires, and other handouts. Presenting clinically proven strategies for the treatment of a commonly encountered disorder, this book will be valued by a wide array of professionals, from psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and nurses, to family practitioners and internists. Written in an accessible style, it is also useful for students in these fields.
