Description based on print version record.
Summary:"Once considered an unconventional approach to the treatment of insomnia, cognitive behavioral therapy has become accepted as empirically validated, data-driven and data-yielding treatment. With the weight of years of effective therapy behind this method, the time has come to make available a concise, practical treatment manual that provides a precise guide to both the how's and why's of treatment and a guide for the clinician seeking to establish a CTB-based treatment center. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia fills this need." "This thoughtful and reader-friendly manual was written to help clinicians from other fields and clinical students begin the process of learning to provide empirically validated CBT-I. The authors also provide practicing Behavioral Sleep Medicine clinicians with information to help to refine and/or expand their CBT-I skills. Lastly, the authors want to provide those undertaking and running clinical practices with the best methods to deliver standardized therapy."--Jacket.

Description
Summary:

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.
