Synopsis

From the ancients to the present day, the importance of sleep has seldom been disputed, but it has never had top billing in comparison to other components of healthy living. Now, however, it seems that the combined critical mass of research, the needs of the population, and the shifting weight of professional interest is pushing sleep to the academic and research forefront. The Oxford Handbook of Sleep and Sleep Disorders provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of knowledge about current research and clinical developments in normal and abnormal sleep.

About this title

Review:

this book is a rather clever mix of the psychological and empirical research on sleep, with a focus on special populations or difficulties with sleep. I would recommend this book as something of a tour de force; it is up-to-date, authoritative and extremely intriguing. (The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, April 2013)
