Goodnight Mind for Teens will help teens cope with the anxious and over-stimulating thoughts that can lead to insomnia, identify and work with their own circadian rhythm, and set up a new sleep schedule so they can improve their alertness, feel more energetic, and be in a better mood throughout the day.

Goodnight Mind offers readers an easy-to-use, friendly guide to getting to sleep when their mind is spinning and their thoughts won't quiet down. This book offers evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help readers overcome insomnia and get a good night's sleep.

Insomnia is often undiagnosed, or treated as a symptom of anxiety. This is the first guidebook for clinicians that considers the evaluation and management of insomnia and related sleep disturbances that occur conjointly with the common anxiety disorders.

From leading authorities, this treatment planner outlines cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and shows how to tailor the treatment to individual clients needs. Clinicians get a solid understanding of how sleep is regulated and the factors that promote or hinder optimal sleep. The book describes CBT-I components and discusses how to select and sequence them for particular clients, including those with psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety or depressive disorders. Two chapter-length case examples illustrate the use of a comprehensive case conceptualization as the basis for effective intervention. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible assessment tools, planning forms, and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the initial treatment for all adult patients with chronic insomnia disorder.
