Product Description
Review
"A thorough review of the clinical and research knowledge that everybody should read before treating insomnia behaviorally. Dr. Morin did our field a great service by assembling, in one book, an up-to-date, comprehensive, and concise review of all the knowledge needed to treat insomniacs. A must reading for anyone who treats insomnia." --Peter Hauri, Ph.D., Mayo Clinic
"Dr. Morin's book is a welcome addition to the treatment literature. It describes a comprehensive, multiperspective therapy for the treatment of insomnia that will be of considerable benefit to insomniacs and their therapists. Dr. Morin describes behavioral and cognitive techniques in detail with particular attention to critical issues of patient compliance and relapse prevention. Dr. Morin has also provided a well-balanced discussion of hypnotic medication and how to integrate medication withdrawal into treatment plans. Dr. Morin's approach is well-grounded in the scientific literature throughout. This is truly an outstanding contribution." --Richard Bootzin, Ph.D., University of Arizona, Tucson
"Chronic insomnia is a complex and multifaceted challenge both to those who suffer and to those who give them care. It exacts an enormous personal and societal cost, yet it need not do so. Over the past two decades we have witnessed significant progress in understanding the pathogenesis and management of chronic insomnia, thanks to the work of Charles Morin and other colleagues. We now appreciate that most patients with chronic insomnia need and will benefit from hybrid treatment approaches, such as the protocol detailed here, that address issues of life styles and sleep-destroying behaviors, maladaptive cognitions, need for education about sleep, and medication withdrawal.
In this context, Dr. Morin has presented a detailed, balanced, and comprehensive approach for the management of chronic insomnia based on controlled clinical trials which he and other investigators have conducted. Dr.o --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Format:Hardcover
Although written in 1993, the basic cognitive-behavioural approach to insomnia does not seem to have changed significantly, and Morin's book is an excellent overview for therapists. It outlines research, covers assessment and moves on to fundamental behavioural strategies such as sleep hygiene. Cognitive strategies are also discussed, but fairly briefly; only 18 pages out of more than 200. My only criticism is that it is slightly dry and a functional rather than an engaging read. It is written for practitioners, and not suitable as a self-help manual. An alternative would be Espie's Overcoming Insomnia.

Classic insomnia overview
9 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a classic book about insomnia written by an international authority in the field. Dr. Morin is one of the most respected insomnia researchers today. This is a well-written overview of how to assess and treat insomnia. I recommend it highly.
