Millions of individuals throughout the world suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, often leading to multiple negative consequences, insomnia and fatigue chief among them. There is a strong empirical basis for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions for treatment of insomnia and fatigue in the general population, and these interventions have shown similar benefits for people with specific medical or psychiatric conditions such as TBI.

This book brings together experts in psychology, sleep medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and TBI and offers clinicians a guide for assessment and intervention for patients dealing with insomnia and fatigue following TBI. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, the authors integrate evidence-based practice collected from TBI and other clinical populations with the expertise of clinicians working with these populations. The book also includes tools for clinicians to use with their patients, including psychoeducation sheets (about sleep after TBI, the link between fatigue and activity, etc.), exercises to be used outside of therapy sessions, descriptions of interventions strategies, and more.
