The Clinician's Guide to Cognitive and Behavioural Therapeutics (CBTx) for Insomnia from Section 3 - Assessing Insomnia from a CBTx Perspective
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2024
Early encounters with patients provide a valuable opportunity to understand their presenting complaints and needs. In order to do this effectively, it is important to have a structured approach to evaluating their symptoms. Using a step-by-step approach, this chapter instructs you how to understand a patient’s initial presenting complaints and assess their needs in an initial assessment. This includes setting the scene with the patient, evaluating their insomnia using a structured sleep interview, and using observation to obtain helpful and pertinent clinical information in collaboration with your patient.
