About this title

Synopsis

Describes types of insomnia and their causes and treatment, and discusses dreams and the diagnosis of sleep problems

Reviews

Growing interest in the field of sleep research and its accompanying increased clinical observation has led to a better understanding of insomnia, a problem affecting half of our adult citizens. Dunkell, director of the Insomnia Medical Services in New York and former assistant professor of psychiatry at Cornell University Medical College, believes that 90 percent of insomniacs can be helped or cured by the treatments he advocates. His highly readable text analyzes the sleep problems of children, adults, and seniors and offers intellectual discussions on relaxation techniques, sleep hygiene, sleep positions, types of insomnia, and gender and sleep. The chapter devoted to dreams is both fascinating and relevant. An excellent, practical source for chronic insomniacs, this is compelling reading for anyone interested in research, techniques, and recent discoveries concerning the healthful benefits of sleep. The comprehensive appendix lists detailed, practical behavior therapies for insomnia. Recommended for most collections.
