Review
"A clear and well-organized review of the problem of insomnia, and a scientifically validated, mutifaceted treatment program..." --Contemporary Psychology "....The book is well written, with the use of clear and concise examples. It is very well organized, leading the reader from topic to topic, not only between the chapters, but also within them." --The Journal of Mind and Behavior "This volume should be of value to many physicians. It contains useful instructions and charts for evaluating complaints and record keeping and might well be recommended reading for many patients." --The Newsletter of the American Institute of Stress "Insomnia is a thorough, academic look at sleep...Charles Morin examines its functions and processes, and sees how it may be disturbed, in 238 relatively readable pages. The book is designed primarily for clinicians, to deal with their patient's sleep disorders, and it succeeds at presenting the facts objectively (and noting the limitations of research)... Insomnia makes a number of suggestions for preventing insomnia and improving the quality of sleep, which may be of use not only to clinicians, but also to graduate students in need of sleep." --The Student Paper of Teachers College

"A thorough review of the clinical and research knowledge that everybody should read before treating insomnia behaviorally. Dr. Morin did our field a great service by assembling, in one book, an up-to-date, comprehensive, and concise review of all the knowledge needed to treat insomniacs. A must reading for anyone who treats insomnia." --Peter Hauri, Ph.D., Mayo Clinic
"Dr. Morin's book is a welcome addition to the treatment literature. It describes a comprehensive, multiperspective therapy for the treatment of insomnia that will be of considerable benefit to insomniacs and their therapists. Dr. Morin describes behavioral and cognitive techniques in detail with particular attention to critical issues of patient compliance and relapse prevention. Dr. Morin has also provided a well-balanced discussion of hypnotic medication and how to integrate medication withdrawal into treatment plans. Dr. Morin's approach is well-grounded in the scientific literature throughout. This is truly an outstanding contribution." --Richard Bootzin, Ph.D., University of Arizona, Tucson
"Chronic insomnia is a complex and multifaceted challenge both to those who suffer and to those who give them care. It exacts an enormous personal and societal cost, yet it need not do so. Over the past two decades we have witnessed significant progress in understanding the pathogenesis and management of chronic insomnia, thanks to the work of Charles Morin and other colleagues. We now appreciate that most patients with chronic insomnia need and will benefit from hybrid treatment approaches, such as the protocol detailed here, that address issues of life styles and sleep-destroying behaviors, maladaptive cognitions, need for education about sleep, and medication withdrawal.
In this context, Dr. Morin has presented a detailed, balanced, and comprehensive approach for the management of chronic insomnia based on controlled clinical trials which he and other investigators have conducted. Dr. Morin's book will provide a useful manual for investigators conducting clinical trials and should help to drive our field forward as it seeks to establish chronic efficacy through controlled maintenance trials. The book will also be of considerable value to professionals seeking to help patients and clients with chronic insomnia." --Charles F. Reynolds, III, M.D., University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
