Concise Guide to Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders, 3rd ed.

Abstract

Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders (see record [rid]2002-01815-000[/rid]) is part of the Concise Guide series from American Psychiatric Publishing. The series addresses 'topics of special concern to psychiatrists in clinical practice.' The target audience for the Concise Guides includes 'psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, and medical students.' Although this paperback is small enough to easily fit into a lab coat pocket, it is a comprehensive overview of the field of sleep medicine. A particular strength of this book is its thorough discussion of sleep complaints and abnormal polysomnographic findings found in patients with psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, the authors highlight the neuropsychiatric symptoms of sleep disorders throughout the book. Despite a few shortcomings, the reviewer argues that overall, Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders is an excellent, compact introduction to the field of sleep medicine.
