A group approach for the management of insomnia.
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.
