Seattle, WA
Featuring Michael Perlis, PhD; Donn Posner, PhD; Marnie Shanbhag PhD, PA
Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective alternative to sleep medication and works with severe and chronic sleep problems. CBT-I is an empirically validated approach that can lead to positive results long after treatment has ended.
While this course is primarily focused on CBT-I, 2-3 hours will also be spent on the medical management of insomnia and will provide a comprehensive overview of what it takes to practice Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM). The program should position clinicians to be ready to conduct practicum cases with supervision from credentialed BSM individuals (or established experts). Following this course and an additional period of practice and training in sleep medicine (the equivalent of 30-100 hours), the individual will be eligible to sit for the credentialing exam administered by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
- CBT-I can help clients who have taken sleep medication for years
- CBT-I is as efficacious and effective as pharmacotherapy in the short run, and is more durable in the long run
- CBT-I is effective because it treats the cause of insomnia, not the symptoms as medication does
