Program Overview

Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective alternative to sleep medication and works with mild to severe and chronic insomnia. 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 seep medicine (the equivalent of 30-100 hours), the individual may be eligible to sit for the credentialing exam administered by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (http://www.behavioralsleep.org/certification.aspx).
  • 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

Target Audience:

Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Case Managers, Marriage & Family Therapists, Nurses, Teachers/Educators, Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists & Occupational Therapist Assistants, Physical Therapists/Physical Therapy Assistants, and other Mental Health Professionals
Objectives

  • Define sleep continuity variables and understand how to define chronic insomnia with regard to diagnostic criteria, severity and chronicity.
  • Discuss the consequences of insomnia as they relate to medical and psychiatric co-morbidities of insomnia as well the cost to public health, personal safety, and quality of life.
  • Explain the two process model of normal sleep wake regulation and describe the 3 key treatment implications of the model.
  • Explain both the 3 and 4 factor versions of the Behavioral Model (Spielman Model) of insomnia and discuss the key implications of the model and its relevance for treatment.
  • Summarize the various pharmacological approaches to insomnia and discuss the relative efficacy of CBT-I and pharmacotherapy.
  • Conduct a thorough sleep assessment, understand how to use a sleep diary and when polysomnography is needed, and discuss other available assessment tools in insomnia.
  • Discuss how insomnia evolves into a primary and co-morbid condition, how it requires specific and targeted treatment, and who is a good candidate for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
  • Discuss and describe the major components of CBT-I and begin to understand how to handle some basic resistances, as well as describe the existing literature that supports CBT-I as a well-established, efficacious, and front line treatment for primary and secondary insomnia.
