This book addresses the management of insomnia. Insomnia is common and I have seen many clients who have not responded to treatment asking for help. This book distills my lifetime experience as, a child, adolescent, and adult. Context: my first memories are living on a subsistence farm with my grandmother, uncle, and two youngest aunts in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1952 and 1953. After that I lived in the Shady Lane Trailer Park by 9 Mile Road and Ryan in Warren, Michigan from 1955 to 1958. My best friends were Southern Baptists from West Virginia and Alabama. I then lived in East Detroit, Michigan from 1958 to 1972 while attending Michigan State University, Wayne State University, and Wayne State University School of Medicine. I completed psychiatric residency training at Lafayette Clinic and Northville State Hospital from 1972 to 1975. I attended Wayne State University Law School in 1979 to 1983 in the night school part time program. I was Board Certified in Psychiatry in 1977 and licensed to practice law in Michigan in 1983. I have practiced general medicine, emergency room medicine, psychiatry in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, California, and Texas without interruption since 1972. I have worked in Regional Medical Centers, State Psychiatric Hospitals, Forensic Psychiatric Hospitals, private practice, multispecialty clinics, and prisons. I have been an expert witness in psychiatry in probate court, state and federal courts, in civil and criminal trials. I have been traveling the country as a contract psychiatrist with over 20 assignments since 2008. I am here to do no harm and to help if I can. Be kind and you can be my friend. William R.
