In Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) Across the Life Span: Guidelines and Clinical Protocols for Health Professionals, a team of distinguished medical researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of various treatment protocols used by health professionals treating patients with insomnia from several different populations. The included treatment protocols are written by members of the European Academy for Cognitive-Behaviour Treatment for Insomnia and reflect the most current practice and theoretical models.

In the book, readers will find discussions of the presentation of insomnia in different professional populations – including healthcare workers and shift workers – as well as the presence of common comorbidities. They’ll also discover:

• A thorough introduction to the disorder of insomnia, as well as the use of cognitive-behavioural therapy in the treatment of insomnia patients
