Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia in Those with Depression: A Guide for Clinicians

This excellent, timely, and well-written volume provides the information that clinicians need to understand the reasons to consider and use various treatments, as well as how to deliver evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and related problems in depression. The authors employ an artful combination of literature review, guidelines, and case materials to derive best practices for sleep problems in depression. I recommend this book enthusiastically.

Treatment of insomnia as a comorbidity to, not simply a symptom of, depression is paramount to patient well-being. This incredibly useful clinical guide reflects Carney and Posner's impressive knowledge of sleep medicine and psychotherapy, guiding clinicians through CBT-I in a practical, logical way. With nearly half of depressed patients meeting criteria for insomnia disorder, this groundbreaking text will prove invaluable to clinicians who desire to comprehensively treat patients with insomnia and depression.

This is an extremely valuable contribution by two leaders in the insomnia field. A wealth of research findings is woven into a well-organized text, including chapters on pathophysiology, diagnostic considerations, medical treatment, cognitive treatment, behavioral treatment, and adherence challenges. The examples of therapist-client interactions greatly enrich the value of this book. Overall, this is a practical and `must-read' contribution for those treating patients with depression.
