Treating Sleep Problems : A Transdiagnostic Approach

This practical manual presents an innovative modular treatment for adults and adolescents with a wide range of sleep and circadian rhythm problems, such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness, poor sleep quality, and irregular sleep-wake schedules. The treatment applies broadly to all individuals with sleep problems, including those with psychiatric disorders. It is grounded in a cutting-edge understanding of sleep health and integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), and other evidence-based therapies. Each module is described in detail, including specific practitioner guidance, sample scripts, developmental adaptations, and tips for enhancing motivation.

"I highly recommend this book for sleep medicine providers in training and also for experienced providers seeking to rapidly and efficiently identify and treat the confounding features of insomnia in complex patients. It provides a framework for patient care that I highly recommend as part of any sleep medicine training curriculum." - David Kristo, MD, Associate Professor and Medical Director, Sleep Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
