Although insomnia is the second most common complaint, after pain, in the primary care setting,<br />
medical texts and reference books often fail to give full treatment to the subject. In Clinical Handbook of<br />
<strong>Insomnia</strong>, expert clinicians and researchers provide practicing primary health care providers the first clinically<br />
oriented, comprehensive textbook devoted to the evaluation and treatment of insomnia. Summarizing the<br />
latest findings published in a wide variety of medical journals, these experts concisely review the primary<br />
insomnias (those in children and adults, psychophysiological and idiopathic insomnia, and sleep state misperception),<br />
as well as those caused by medical, neurological, and psychiatric problems. They then fully discuss<br />
the latest pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments for insomnia, illustrating each topic with<br />
detailed case studies, algorithms, charts, and graphs to better demonstrate the points presented. Also<br />
included is a simple algorithm for the differential diagnosis of insomnia.<br />
Comprehensive, easy to read, and up-to-date, Clinical Handbook of <strong>Insomnia</strong> considers the disorder<br />
in all its multiple forms, helping the practicing health care provider to identify the problem early<br />
on, to recognize its underlying cause, and to prescribe the most efficacious treatment.<br />
