It equips the reader with specific recommendations for conceptualizing, assessing, and treating depression and insomnia, and related issues in therapy. In Part I, readers learn about several cognitive behavioral processes underlying the depression-insomnia link. Part II reviews existing cognitive behavioral interventions for depression and insomnia.
