Cognitive behaviour therapy, which has been adapted to treat so many problems, has also brought data-driven and data-yielding treatment to insomnia. Focusing on this evidence-based modality, "Cognitive Behavioural Treatment of Insomnia" is a much-needed treatment manual that provides clinicians with the whys and hows of this approach in concise and practical terms. This book, which is written as a reader-friendly guide, is intended for clinical trainees, non-insomnia sleep specialists, and for expert CBT clinicians from outside the sleep medicine field who wish to begin the process of learning to provide empirically validated CBT-I. The book is organized into seven parts: definition of insomnia; review of the conceptual; framework for treatment; overview of the components of therapy; session-by-session guide; dialogues; assessment and eligibility for CBT-I; and sample documentation. The organizing principles for the guide can best be expressed as two seemingly simple questions: who is appropriate for CBT-I? What does one need to know to set up a Behavioural Sleep Medicine Service? The guide provides all that one needs to confidently answer these questions. | Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Of Insomnia by Michael L. Perlis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
