Sleep disorders medicine has only recently come of age, as getting enough sleep-and getting restful sleep-has become more elusive than ever in today's fast-paced world. Despite being one of the most common complaints among psychiatric patients (170 sleep disorders are now identified), sleep disorders are still not included in most medical or health care-related curricula. The third edition of this truly "pocket-sized" volume fills that void. Designed to provide the clinician with a practical approach to the differential diagnosis and effective treatment of sleep complaints and disorders and an up-to-date summary of sleep disorders medicine, this compact volume from American Psychiatric Publishing's Concise Guides series shows clinicians how to use a conceptual framework and decision trees to facilitate diagnosis.
