Reviews

This very well written book. [It] addresses the problems of co-occurring sleep issues in the severely mentally ill. These sleep disturbances, including insomnia and hypersomnia, not only accentuate psychotic symptoms, such delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech, but also lead to specific night-time problems, negative beliefs, agitation, and aggressive behaviour. The authors provide a clear step-by-step treatment manual so that clinicians can learn the Sleep Well, Feel Well program. The authors also provide highly useful resource packs to be used with clients, including sleep diaries, charts, and activity materials. I highly recommend this book to all clinicians seeking a thorough, straightforward tool for improving the sleep of their clients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. -Aaron T. Beck, psychiatrist; professor emeritus, department of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania
