Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This second edition of a splendid textbook focused on insomnia contains significant revisions and added chapters to further explain this ‘condition’ that disturbs so many patients during their life spans. … The book reviews how to diagnose and treat insomnia in an individualized manner for specific settings and for specific patients. … All in all, the book provides a thorough review of literature for management of insomnia … .” (Indermohan S. Thethi, William H. Wehrmacher and Harry Messmore, Comprehensive Therapy, Fall, 2010)
“This update of a book in the Current Clinical Neurology series presents new information on insomnia. … This book is designed primarily as a clinically-oriented, readable handbook on the evaluation and treatment of insomnia patients for general practitioners in the primary care setting. … This is a significant contribution to the field of sleep medicine in general, and the topic of insomnia in particular. Given new developments in the field of insomnia, this book is a timely addition to the sleep literature.” (M. Isabel L. Crisostomo, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2010)
