title: A group approach for the management of insomnia.
abstract: To date, the management of insomnia has primarily consisted of pharmacological and behavioral approaches for individual patients. This paper documents the authors' work in formulating a group intervention for patients suffering from insomnia. The treatment rationales are discussed and include group theory, cognitive-behavioral and educational frames of reference. A description of the techniques used and the structure and process of the group model used is provided.
