Product Description

Review

From the reviews of the second edition: “This second edition of a splendid textbook focused on insomnia contains significant revisions and added chapters to further explain this ‘condition’ that disturbs so many patients during their life spans. … The book reviews how to diagnose and treat insomnia in an individualized manner for specific settings and for specific patients. … All in all, the book provides a thorough review of literature for management of insomnia … .” (Indermohan S. Thethi, William H. Wehrmacher and Harry Messmore, Comprehensive Therapy, Fall, 2010) “This update of a book in the Current Clinical Neurology series presents new information on insomnia. … This book is designed primarily as a clinically-oriented, readable handbook on the evaluation and treatment of insomnia patients for general practitioners in the primary care setting. … This is a significant contribution to the field of sleep medicine in general, and the topic of insomnia in particular. Given new developments in the field of insomnia, this book is a timely addition to the sleep literature.” (M. Isabel L. Crisostomo, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2010)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, Mar 22 2011

This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Insomnia (Hardcover)

I used this book to help prepare for a Grand Rounds and convention conference presentation I did on insomnia. I learned a lot that I could incorporate into my clinical practice and there is just enough fun stuff included to keep my attention. I got great reviews on my presentation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pseudointellectual clinical garbage, Oct 17 2011

By C. Qu - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Insomnia (Hardcover)

In my search for a good background source of literature on insomnia I got my hands on the entire subject collection at our local university.

This book is a large authoritatively looking volume (as most other books listed below). I scanned through the chapters, index and contents - there's not a word about one of the most common causes of insomnia - metal neurotoxicity. Not a word! Not a word about mercury, cadmium, thallium etc.

Instead this "clinical" book is just a worthless collection of useless, diagnostically unhelpful facts regarding every single aspect of sleep. There's little about "DIAGNOSIS" and everything about which drugs to push on you.

If you are a medical student or a medical professional who are examined in this field - go ahead with it. Otherwise, the book is as shocking as the value of advice you will likely to get from qualified practitioners - they will regurgitate whatever they remember from these useless books mindlessly learned back in their university days. But it's Garbage-In-Garbage-out, that's it.
