Description
Book SynopsisChronic insomnia is a significant problem for many people, and existing treatments can be limited in their efficacy. Mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI) is presented as a new, evidence-supported, and effective treatment program in this practical guide for clinicians.
Trade Review“The high prevalence of insomnia and sleep-related disturbances in the general population make this book a valuable resource for treating professionals. The MBTI approach encompasses some conventional cognitive-behavioral methods but readers familiar with and practicing mindfulness-based interventions will benefit most.” —
New England Psychologist “Ong competently integrates mindfulness, acceptance, and CBT while maintaining a humility for the difficulty in working with matters as important and personal as sleep. The MBTI approach presented here offers a very promising approach to insomnia that will surely be a key reference point for mindfulness and sleep researchers and clinicians as the field moves forward for the betterment of sleeping and waking life.” —PsycCRITIQUES
