From leading authorities, this treatment planner outlines
cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and shows how to
tailor the treatment to individual clients' needs. Clinicians get a
solid understanding of how sleep is regulated and the factors that
promote or hinder optimal sleep. The book describes CBT-I components and
discusses how to select and sequence them for particular clients,
including those with psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety or
depressive disorders. Two chapter-length case examples illustrate the
use of a comprehensive case conceptualization as the basis for effective
intervention. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes
reproducible assessment tools, planning forms, and handouts. Purchasers
get access to a Web page where they can download and print the
reproducible materials.
The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the initial
treatment for all adult patients with chronic insomnia disorder.
