It has been 5 years since publication of the first edition of Dr.
Attarian's Clinical Handbook of Insomnia which at the time was the
first significant cl- ical textbook dedicated to insomnia, an often
overlooked but important me- cal problem. The book was very well
received. There has now been sufficient new information on the
subject to warrant a second expanded edition of this very useful
volume. Then, as now, the approach is to emphasize the frequent
biological causes of insomnia rather than to attribute it primarily
to underlying psychological and emotional factors. This new edition
is an impressive major effort, having been expanded from 14 to 23
chapters including an extensive revision and updating of previous
chapters with new references and the ad- tion of many new authors.
An entirely new section of the book deals with insomnia in special
populations including teenagers, pregnancy, menopause, and the
geriatric population. Other new topics include insomnia as enco-
tered in primary care practice, the role of circadian rhythms, the
contribution of sleep related movement disorders to insomnia,
insomnia in pain disorders, and the interesting entity of
paradoxical insomnia, in which there is a large d- crepancy between
the objective and subjective estimation of quantity of sleep. This
collection within a single volume of practical information
concerning a common but often neglected disorder remains a very
useful addition to the armamentarium of the general or specialty
physician who wishes to properly address insomnia in an informed
and responsible manner.
