This practical manual presents an innovative modular treatment for adults and adolescents with a wide range of sleep and circadian rhythm problems, such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness, poor sleep quality, and irregular sleep-wake schedules. The treatment applies broadly to all individuals with sleep problems, including those with psychiatric disorders. It is grounded in a cutting-edge understanding of sleep health and integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), and other evidence-based therapies. Each module is described in detail, including specific practitioner guidance, sample scripts, developmental adaptations, and tips for enhancing motivation. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the book's 17 reproducible client handouts in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.

I highly recommend this book for sleep medicine providers in training and also for experienced providers seeking to rapidly and efficiently identify and treat the confounding features of insomnia in complex patients. It provides a framework for patient care that I highly recommend as part of any sleep medicine training curriculum. --David Kristo, MD, Associate Professor and Medical Director, Sleep Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

I highly recommend this comprehensive treatment manual to any mental health clinician working on the front line with patients with sleep complaints. The authors have done a splendid job of crafting a new evidence-based treatment targeting sleep and circadian problems that are often central to a range of mental disorders, including anxiety, major affective, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The book provides a step-by-step, modular approach, with specific treatment modules targeting insomnia, nightmares, sleep scheduling problems in adolescents, and compliance issues with sleep apnea therapy. --Charles M. Morin, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Director, Sleep Research Center, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada
Harvey and Buysse are among the most influential and respected sleep researchers in the world, whose contributions to sleep science and to healthcare practice have been outstanding. I am certain this volume will become a classic for professionals working in sleep laboratories or clinics. Harvey and Buysse recognize that sleep and circadian processes are fundamental therapeutic targets. They show how a transdiagnostic perspective offers new pathways to effective clinical care. This book is wonderfully constructed and a joy to read. --Colin A. Espie, PhD, DSc, Professor of Sleep Medicine, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, United Kingdom -An excellent exposition and resource.--Psychology Aotearoa, 11/1/2018ffThis book is an excellent practical manual presenting a novel modular approach to subclinical and clinical insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders using the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Intervention (TranS-C)....It provides comprehensive guidance and exemplars. The appendices provide a very useful range of handouts and other useful resources. This book is a must for all clinicians interested in the psychological aspects of sleep medicine. It is not only useful for those practicing sleep medicine but also for those working in mental health and managing long-term physical health conditions with comorbid sleep issues.--British Journal of Psychiatry, 10/1/2018
