An estimated 6%–10% of the U.S. population meets the criteria for insomnia disorder—a figure that is even higher among individuals experiencing psychiatric conditions. Evidence suggests that although experiencing sleep difficulties is a diagnostic criterion in several psychiatric conditions and is experienced in the context of some medical disorders, insomnia is a distinct disorder, intricately interwoven with co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions. This insightful new book explores Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in a manner relevant to patients seen by mental health clinicians. CBT-I is an effective nonpharmacological treatment approach grounded in the sciences of sleep and behavior change. The volume's distinguished contributors carefully consider the components of CBT-I and provide guidance on customizing treatment for patients with and without co-occurring psychiatric conditions.
