Poor sleep is a significant source of distress and is also a symptom of other problems, such as anxiety and depressive disorders. From leading experts in cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), this state-of-the-art book provides a framework for tailoring treatment for clients with an array of sleep difficulties. Clinicians are guided to make important decisions about what treatment components to use and how to optimize their effectiveness. Two chapter-length clinical examples vividly illustrate case conceptualization, treatment planning, and session-by-session implementation. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible forms and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This title is part of the Treatment Plans and Interventions for Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Series, edited by Robert L. Leahy. Reviews and Endorsements: “Manber and Carney have written a wonderful resource for clinicians interested in learning how best to evaluate and successfully treat those with insomnia. The book includes elements that are often missing from treatment manuals. Beyond the details of therapy techniques, it helps the clinician prioritize treatment goals and presents innovative reproducible forms and patient handouts, well-written patient-therapist dialogues, and guidance for what to do when patients have comorbid disorders. The case studies show in detail how decisions are made at each stage of therapy.” —Richard R. Bootzin, PhD, Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of Arizona “This manual is destined to become a prime tool in the provision of CBT-I. Manber and Carney deftly instruct therapists in the essential sleep medicine and cognitive-behavioral principles that undergird CBT-I. They guide the therapist in assessing and conceptualizing each case in a way that allows for flexible application and can be nicely tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Perhaps most useful are the two case examples used throughout the book to illustrate how CBT-I principles are applied. This book is a 'must' for all clinicians who are new to CBT-I, but even seasoned behavioral sleep medicine specialists will greatly benefit from the experience and wisdom of these two gifted authors.” —Donn Posner, PhD, CBSM, Palo Alto VA Healthcare System; former Clinical Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine, Sleep Disorders Center of Lifespan Hospitals/Rhode Island Hospital “This excellent treatment manual provides a step-by-step approach to treating insomnia, whether it is the main problem or a condition coexisting with another medical or psychiatric disorder. The book is practical, up to date, and evidence based. It provides all the 'nuts and bolts' for efficient and effective intervention.” —Charles M.
