Review
"Comprehensive, easy to read, and up-to-date, the Clinical Handbook of Insomnia considers the disorder broadly and multiperspectivally, helping the practicing health care provider to identify the problem early on and to recognize its underlying cause, so that the most efficacious treatment can be formulated and prescribed. The Clinical Handbook of Insomnia will be of interest and use to all practicing health care providers and should be in all major hospital and medical school libraries." - E-STREAMS "This is a very useful and easy to read update that clinicians can use in daily practice as a quick reference. The book is written in a practical, user-friendly format differentiating itself from other books in this field. The authors clearly have met their objectives by providing a worthwhile contribution."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
From the Back Cover
When first published in 2003, this indispensable handbook fulfilled a critical need for information about the various causes of insomnia. Updated and expanded, this new edition of the Clinical Handbook of Insomnia offers healthcare providers the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies, as well as research developments, in the field of insomnia. With contributions from an expanded team of leading researchers from 5 different countries, this important resource includes new chapters on insomnia in special populations such as children, in adolescents, in the geriatric population, in menopausal women, and during pregnancy. The first edition chapter on insomnia in other sleep disorders has been divided and expanded into three comprehensive chapters addressing insomnia in sleep-related breathing disorders, in circadian rhythm disorders, and in sleep-related movement disorders and other parasomnias. The chapter on insomnia in neurological and medical disorders has also been split into two; an expanded one on neurological illness and another on medical disorders. There is also a new chapter on the association between insomnia and pain disorders, and, crucially, a practical ‘how-to’ chapter aimed at mid-level clinicians. The Clinical Handbook of Insomnia 2nd edition also includes state-of-the-art discussion of important developments made in recent years. Along with an overview of significant advances in the treatment of insomnia, including four new medications granted FDA approval and a number of others in the pipeline, the text offers a wealth of of new data regarding the pathophysiology of insomnia. Complete with a host of case studies, charts, and graphs to illustrate the material, the Clinical Handbook of Insomnia 2nd edition continues to fill an important niche in the literature by addressing the issue in its multiple forms and by presenting the information to clinicians in an easily accessible format.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Insomnia (Current Clinical Neurology) (Hardcover)
I used this book to help prepare for a Grand Rounds and convention conference presentation I did on insomnia. I learned a lot that I could incorporate into my clinical practice and there is just enough fun stuff included to keep my attention. I got great reviews on my presentation.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Pseudointellectual clinical garbage,
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Insomnia (Current Clinical Neurology) (Hardcover)
In my search for a good background source of literature on insomnia I got my hands on the entire subject collection at our local university. This book is a large authoritatively looking volume (as most other books listed below). I scanned through the chapters, index and contents - there's not a word about one of the most common causes of insomnia - metal neurotoxicity. Not a word! Not a word about mercury, cadmium, thallium etc. Instead this "clinical" book is just a worthless collection of useless, diagnostically unhelpful facts regarding every single aspect of sleep. There's little about "DIAGNOSIS" and everything about which drugs to push on you. If you are a medical student or a medical professional who are examined in this field - go ahead with it. Otherwise, the book is as shocking as the value of advice you will likely to get from qualified practitioners - they will regurgitate whatever they remember from these useless books mindlessly learned back in their university days. But it's Garbage-In-Garbage-out, that's it. The complete list of garbage this review applies to: Sleep and Sleep Disorders:: A Neuropsychopharmacological Approach - Malcolm Lader Sleep: A Comprehensive Handbook - Teofilo L. Lee-Chiong Understanding Sleep and Dreaming - William H. Moorcroft Insomnia: A Clinician's Guide to Assessment and Treatment - Charles M.
