In a user-friendly manner it provides empirically-derived and clinically useful treatment procedures, comprising a cost-effective program that can be applied to large numbers of adults with insomnia. This program fits readily into managed care (U.S.) and local health co-operative systems (U.K.), particularly as it offers an alternative to pharmacotherapy. Chapters cover an introduction to sleep and its disturbance, as well as clear-cut assessment and treatment approaches. Most of the chapters are formatted for consistency and provide regular features in addition to the descriptive text, including clinical vignettes, a checklist of learning outcomes for the clinician, and recommendations for further reading on a given topic. Where applicable, assessment materials are reproduced and interpretation criteria provided. Additional features include guidance notes for the therapist in conducting each session, worksheets for patients to complete, and implementation criteria to increase patient compliance. For maximum convenience to the clinician the book comes with a CD containing materials that can be reproduced and customized for use in the assessment and treatment process. Insomnia: A Clinician's Guide to Assessment and Treatment, is an invaluable resource for psychologists, nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals and all those who deal with sufferers of chronic sleep problems. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A great overall insomnia reference for cliniciansInsomnia is a daily complaint among psyhotherapy patients, but msot of us as clinicans seem to have little to offer in terms of empirically validated treatments. This book gives a thorough review of the causes and types of insomnia, as well as viable treatment options. My only complaint is the price--sixty-five plus dollars seems a little steep for a 120 page book, no matter how well written. James Wright, Ph.D.
