What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
“Long overlooked as a secondary aspect of psychosis, we now recognise how important sleep difficulties can be in the persistence of psychosis and associated disabilities. As we start to prioritise treating this aspect of treatment, Waters and colleagues have produced one of those books you are on the lookout for that provides the “go-to” resource covering everything you need on conceptualisation, assessment, and intervention for this clinical issue.”—Neil Thomas, director, Voices Clinic, Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre; associate professor, Centre for Mental Health, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia
