About the Book

In 1984, Dr Norman Rosenthal and his colleagues published a seminal research paper on seasonal affective disorder (SAD), unveiling what they were convinced was the healing power of light therapy for people suffering from the illness. Since then, many scientific and medical communities have come to believe that the therapeutic use of light holds great promise for not only SAD, but also a variety of other disorders. This wide-ranging book combines in a single, cohesive reference new findings with a summary of the available literature on light therapy. Seventeen clinicians studying the effects and uses of light treatment, discuss the impact of light and light therapy on such conditions as SAD, premenstrual depression, circadian phase sleep disorders, jet lag, shift work disorders, insomnia and behavioural disturbances. Challenging conventional thinking about light therapy, several contributing authors make cases for its positive effects in treating nonseasonal depression, bulimia nervosa and other illnesses. Finally, members of a joint task force of the Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms and the American Sleep Disorders Association explore the use of light for treating sleep disorders, as well as a combination of light and melatonin in some cases.

Review :
Seasonal Affective Disorder and Beyond is for everyone who is -- ideologically at least -- from Missouri: everyone who wants to be shown how (and how laboriously) these scientific conclusions have been obtained. Each chapter contains detailed summations of the major research projects and papers, weaving them together so as to present both the tenable conclusions to date and the questions raised but left unanswered. Bulletin of Menninger Clinic The 17 contributors in this collection offer a broad survey of research and theory on light therapy...The text is well researched and documented...this volume should be a valuable resource for researchers in the field or those interested in observing its development.
