Summary:

This groundbreaking book summarizes the current knowledge about the intrinsic interrelationship between sleep and psychiatry. With contributions from a wide range of specialists, it explores the role of sleep in the pathophysiology of mental health disorders and death as well as in healing, longevity, well-being, and performance. Existing books on this subject are too specific and written for sleep specialists only, or they are too general and not practical. This is the first book devoted to conceptual and clinical practice oriented interrelations between sleep and psychiatry.
