About this listen

Cognitive behavior therapy, which has been adapted to treat so many problems, has also brought data-driven and data-yielding treatment to insomnia. Focusing on this evidence-based modality, cognitive behavioral treatment of insomnia (CBT-I) is a much-needed treatment manual that provides clinicians with the whys and hows of this approach in concise and practical terms.

This book, which is written as a listener-friendly guide, is intended for clinical trainees, non-insomnia sleep specialists, and for expert CBT clinicians from outside the sleep medicine field who wish to begin the process of learning to provide empirically validated CBT-I.

The book is organized into seven parts: definition of insomnia; review of the conceptual; framework for treatment; overview of the components of therapy; session-by-session guide; dialogues; assessment and eligibility for CBT-I; and sample documentation. The organizing principles for the guide can best be expressed as two seemingly simple questions:

"Who is appropriate for CBT-I?"

"What does one need to know to set up a behavioral sleep medicine service?"

The guide provides all that one needs to confidently answer these questions.

Such an important book, but I agree with the previous reviewer! Jeff Wisniewski can do so much better, but he was obviously entirely disengaged from the subject of sleep ... to the point of being unlistenable to. I find it hard to understand how the publishers didn't notice this. At first I thought JW was a computer narrator. But his other books prove he must be human. It's a shame.

Good book. Awful narration.
