Description
Treating Insomnia: The Treatment Program SLEEPexpert for Clinical Practice is a comprehensive guide designed to transform insomnia treatment in clinical settings. Beginning with a review of the essential connection between sleep and health, the book presents the intricate regulation of sleep and the critical diagnostic criteria for insomnia. This book highlights the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as the frontline intervention while addressing the alarming trend of inadequate implementation and reliance on pharmacological treatments that often lead to unwanted side effects.
The development of SLEEPexpert—a tailored adaptation of CBT-I—is introduced as a pivotal solution, offering a structured treatment manual that outlines its foundational principles and the three distinct phases of the program. With practical tips and specific goals for implementation, this book equips healthcare professionals with the necessary tools to effectively integrate SLEEPexpert into their practices.
