The treatment of severe insomnia in a cancer patient
Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry
|March 1, 1986
Abstract:
A 27-year-old man with severe insomnia secondary to cancer and chemotherapy was treated with a combination of somatic focusing and imagery training for five sessions. This led to a decrease in the latency of sleep onset and an increase in the duration of sleep which was maintained up to a 12-month follow-up. The utility of this treatment package is discussed with special reference to cancer patients.
