Introduction & Theoretical Background
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, characterized by difficulties initiating, sustaining, or obtaining satisfying sleep. About one in three adults experiences intermittent insomnia, and between 10-22% suffer from chronic insomnia. Overcoming Insomnia is a comprehensive program to assist clinicians in delivering effective CBT for insomnia. The program includes two books:
- Overcoming Insomnia: Therapist Guide details the step-by-step cognitive behavioral treatment of insomnia. Learn how to give your patients information about healthy sleep, and then implement a behavioral program to address your patient’s specific sleep problems.
- Overcoming Insomnia: Workbook is the companion to this therapist guide. It will help your patients to become active participants in their treatment, learn about healthy sleep, and develop an effective sleep regimen to improve their sleep.
