Synopsis

Specifically designed for use by all mental health practitioners and primary care physicians, the second edition of the "Concise Guide to Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders" provides a practical approach to the differential diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Considerably updated and revised, this concise guide is now fully compatible with DSM-IV. It contains improved coverage of all sleep disorders, including circadian rhythm abnormalities and parasomnias, as well as updated information on treatments such as hypnotic drugs. The authors use a symptom-based approach to facilitate differential diagnosis and outline multiple treatment options for each disorder, including behavioural treatment options that primary care physicians can use. A special section focuses on sleep problems during pregnancy, in children, and in the elderly. This handy guide also includes numerous charts, graphs, and decision trees that place important information at caregivers' fingertips and enable them to improve and expedite their evaluations of patients with sleep complaints.
