Product Description
Cognitive behavior 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 Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia is a much-needed treatment manual that provides clinicians with the why’s and how’s 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 Behavioral Sleep Medicine service?” The guide provides all that one needs to confidently answer these questions.

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in the 24/7 world we live in. It's estimated that about 30% of the industrialized population has occasional bouts of insomnia during any given time and that fully 10% of the population has chronic insomnia. Although hypnotics can be helpful - they appear to be most helpful in transient insomnias (usually caused by transient stresses) which occur from time to time in people who are generally good sleepers. Hypnotics are also helpful in those with chronic insomnia but when stopped the insomnia typically recurs. In other words the effect of hypnotics is not a durable effect after the hypnotics are stopped. Cognitive behavioral therapy of chronic insomnia, on the other hand, is every bit as effective as hypnotics (the effect sizes are similar) but cognitive behavioral therapy has durable effects which can be measured up to a year after therapy has been completed. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the foundation of therapy for chronic insomnia. Yet until recently, there haven't been many "good" references on how the non-sleep specialist actually provides this type of therapy. This book answers that need. This book, written by several of the world's experts on insomnia, is a practical guide for the practitioner that describes the various components of cognitive behavioral therapy of insomnia (CBTI). CBTI combines aspects of sleep hygiene, stimulous control, sleep restriction, and cognitive therapy into an integrated approach. The session by session guide will be helpful to all counsellors - the authors provide a very rational and "doable" integration. Each session builds on progress made in the previous section. And the book has sufficient background information in the beginning to give most practioners a reasonable exposure to some fundamental principles of sleep medicine. Practicing psychologists, psychiatrists, masters level counselors, primary care providers will find this book indespensible in their practices. The book is clearly written for practitioners and fills a very needed void in the practical literature on insomnia. As a practicing sleep specialist, I give this book my highest recommendation. In fact, I've purchased several copies to distribute to health care practioners where I live - this book is a MUST read.

Perlis and collaborators put together a succinct and practical book on CBT for insomnia. The book is aimed for clinicians, researchers and sleep behavioral therapists. This beautiful hardcover edition begins with defining insomnia and explaining the conceptual framework of CBT treatment. Then, step by step, the author explains how to perform 8-sessions of behavioral therapy. Each concept is reinforced by a sample dialogue; it is like having a coach next to the reader. Troubleshooting frequently encountered problems such as non-adherence is also explained. Then a sample case, session by session. To finalize, the appendices have useful clinical tools. All of these qualities make this book a must for sleep medicine fellows, or clinicians interested in CBT for insomnia.
