Extract

A behaviour-therapeutic approach in a case of chronic insomnia is illustrated. Based on research reported in the literature the treatment programme consists of sleep-related interventions as well as of training in coping with conditions which influence sleep negatively. Data on the short- and long-term effects of therapy, especially during the follow-up period of two years, are discussed.
