Von der hinteren Coverseite

More than two dozen national and international experts contribute their insights to Clinical Sleep Medicine: A Comprehensive Guide for Mental Health and Other Medical Professionals. Intentionally designed to be an easily portable resource, this guide features the most up-to-date information and latest guidelines and summarizes the pathophysiological mechanisms, epidemiology, clinical presentations, and management of the six principal categories of adult and pediatric sleep disorders: insomnia, hypersomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, circadian disorders, parasomnias, and sleep-related movement disorders.

Each chapter features a section on differential diagnosis to help readers distinguish among the various diseases and disorders. Where there is overlap between disorders, the guide also provides cross-references to relevant information, and where new concepts, emerging evidence, and aspects that require further research occur, these are highlighted specifically and discussed.

This guide provides a robust and in-depth foundation for clinicians, researchers, and nonmedical professionals seeking to offer state-of-the-art care to patients affected by any sleep disorder--and even the patients themselves.
