Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-29 00:00:00 James Patrick This book should be called Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia, as there were probably 6 pages in total on the cognitions involved. Also, the dialogues were often verging on ridiculous. That being said, a decent intro to the practice! Will be needing to supplement it with other readings to better understand the "C" aspect however.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-24 00:00:00 Joseph Mikos Treatment guide for clinicians who want to do Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat insomnia. CBT for insomnia involves sleep logging, and changing actions and behaviors related to sleep. It can involve changing sleep and wake times as well as cutting back on the amount of sleep. It can be difficult to bear, but the idea is to reassociate the bed with sleep, to only try to sleep when you're sleepy, and to minimize the anxiety that comes with insomnia so that you don't sabotage your efforts. The book goes through session by session and details treatment and outlines possible discussions between the patient and clinician. There are also references, a case study, and a glossary. You should note that I am very self motivated and was referred to cognitive behavioral therapy by a sleep specialist after having a sleep study and a poor response to sleep medication. I had people to call on if I needed help. That being said, I found CBT pretty straightforward and the book was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in my quest to improve my sleep. I am not a clinician, and can't answer for how well the book will prepare you for a range of patients, nor can I answer for anyone else's attempt to self-treat.
