In recent years, psychological therapy and physical therapy, as non-drug treatment methods, are increasingly used in insomnia disorders. Because of their few side effects, satisfactory treatment effect and high patient compliance, they play an increasingly important role in the treatment of insomnia disorders.
The authors of this book are mainly doctors or psychological workers at the clinical front line. They have accumulated some experience in clinical psychotherapy and physical therapy and share it with you. It can be used as a popular sleep book or a reference book for professionals. Most of the authors wrote the book after working in the sleep center, and mistakes are inevitable, but the flaws do not hide the flaws. We still hope that the publication of this book can provide reference for the development of sleep science and clinical psychotherapy and physiotherapy auxiliary reference.
This book is supported by Ningbo brand discipline—children and adolescents’ psychological disorders and sleep disorders funds. Here, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all those who care and support the publication of this book.
