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 a

Useful and comprehensive cognitive behavioural approach,
This review is from: Insomnia: Psychological Assessment and Management (Treatment Manuals for Practitioners) (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.

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.
