Integrating Acceptance- and Mindfulness-Based Strategies into CBT-I

In this chapter, I describe how acceptance- and mindfulness-based strategies can be integrated into insomnia treatment. The chapter consists of four main sections. The first section introduces these strategies, examines the scientific/theoretical rationale for their use, provides a review of the empirical evidence, and highlights the importance of personalizing treatment. The second and third sections explore personalized applications in the form of four case vignettes. The final section summarizes the chapter’s most important clinical points.
