From leading authorities, this treatment planner outlines cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and shows how to tailor the treatment to individual clients' needs. Clinicians get a solid understanding of how sleep is regulated and the factors that promote or hinder optimal sleep. The book describes CBT-I components and discusses how to select and sequence them for particular clients, including those with psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety or depressive disorders. Two chapter-length case examples illustrate the use of a comprehensive case conceptualization as the basis for effective intervention. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible assessment tools, planning forms, and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the initial treatment for all adult patients with chronic insomnia disorder.

This title is part of the Treatment Plans and Interventions for Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Series, edited by Robert L. Leahy.


“This manual is destined to become a prime tool in the provision of CBT-I. Manber and Carney deftly instruct therapists in the essential sleep medicine and cognitive-behavioral principles that undergird CBT-I. They guide the therapist in assessing and conceptualizing each case in a way that allows for flexible application and can be nicely tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Perhaps most useful are the two case examples used throughout the book to illustrate how CBT-I principles are applied. This book is a 'must' for all clinicians who are new to CBT-I, but even seasoned behavioral sleep medicine specialists will greatly benefit from the experience and wisdom of these two gifted authors.”

—Donn Posner, PhD, CBSM, Palo Alto VA Healthcare System; former Clinical Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine, Sleep Disorders Center of Lifespan Hospitals/Rhode Island Hospital


“This excellent treatment manual provides a step-by-step approach to treating insomnia, whether it is the main problem or a condition coexisting with another medical or psychiatric disorder. The book is practical, up to date, and evidence based. It provides all the 'nuts and bolts' for efficient and effective intervention.”

—Charles M. Morin, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Director, Sleep Research Center, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada
