Abstract： Insomnia and emotional disorders are guided by the theory of the unity of body and spirit,and they are mutually causal,both of which have disturbances in the regulation of the neural endocrine immune network.On the basis of inheriting the e-motional theory of Neijing and combining his own experience,ZHANG Congzheng extended a variety of emotional therapies,which had important guiding significance for the treatment of insomnia.Although it has immediate effect,some methods should be used in clinical practice when timing and scale are well grasped,and should not be blindly copied and used.In the future research,emo-tional therapy should be standardized to make up for the shortcomings of modern medical treatment of insomnia.
