About the Book

In this clinical guide, Jason C. Ong introduces mental health practitioners to an innovative, evidence-based treatment: mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI). Chronic insomnia can impair cognitive abilities and the immune system and can intensify other mental and physical disorders. Yet existing medical, psychological, and alternative treatments have only limited success in treating this persistent disorder. This group intervention combines mindfulness meditation with principles and strategies derived from cognitive behavioral therapy using guided meditations, group discussions, and daily activities performed at home. Participants are able to cultivate greater self-awareness and change their unhealthy thoughts and behaviors surrounding sleep to reduce stress, sleeplessness, and other insomnia symptoms long after treatment has ended. Mental health professionals are shown how to integrate MBTI into their own practices through detailed session-by-session guidelines. They are also advised on evaluating potential participants prior to treatment by assessing physical and psychological issues that underlie their insomnia. The result is a versatile and effective approach for helping clients find relief.

Review :
amp ldquo The high prevalence of insomnia and sleep-related disturbances in the general population make this book a valuable resource for treating professionals. The MBTI approach encompasses some conventional cognitive-behavioral methods but readers familiar with and practicing mindfulness-based interventions will benefit most. amp rdquo -New England Psychologist amp ldquo Ong competently integrates mindfulness, acceptance, and CBT while maintaining a humility for the difficulty in working with matters as important and personal as sleep. The MBTI approach presented here offers a very promising approach to insomnia that will surely be a key reference point for mindfulness and sleep researchers and clinicians as the field moves forward for the betterment of sleeping and waking life. amp rdquo -PsycCRITIQUES Ong competently integrates mindfulness, acceptance, and CBT while maintaining a humility for the difficulty in working with matters as important and personal as sleep.
