'Overcoming Insomnia and Sleep Problems' Description
Extensive research conducted over 25 years has established Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as the treatment of choice for insomnia. For the first time, proven CBT principles have been brought together by a practising clinician in a comprehensive self-help manual. In a clear step-by-step approach, new patterns of relaxation, sleeping and waking are quickly learnt.
Professor Colin Espie is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Glasgow. He has been interested in CBT for insomnia for many years and has conducted controlled trials of supervised CBT for insomnia and published a number of academic papers on the subject. He is a member of national and international societies in sleep medicine including the British Sleep Society and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
