DESCRIPTION
In any given year, 30% of the US population experiences some challenges with insomnia. Despite its high incidence and prevalence, effective treatments remain limited and access to the most successful treatment (CBT-I) is particularly challenging. This program will focus on non-pharmacological interventions for people with insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia will be the primary focus of this day-long course, and participants will be equipped with understanding of insomnia and CBT-I to work with clients toward improving their sleep (Morin et al, 2009). Neurobiological basis of insomnia will be discussed in depth, along with anticipated neurological changes following treatment (Buysse et al, 2011). Recent trends in behavioral sleep medicine have demonstrated some movement beyond basic CBTI, particularly for people with comorbid psychiatric disorders and these interventions also will be introduced (Ashworth et al, 2015; Harvey et al, 2016).
Psychologists, social workers, and counselors will be equipped with skills for working with their clients who report insomnia and interventions to improve sleep. Professionals will also gain the capacity to differentiate when more complicated intervention or referral for sleep specialist may be required.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Based on the content of this workshop, you will be able to:
·Identify the three major elements of the Speilman model of Insomnia and how these elements influence response to treatment and prognosis.
·Report the session layout for CBT-I and methods to modify the session order per needs of individual clients.
·Identify factors (individual and process) that contribute to effective response to CBT-I.
-Develop an insomnia treatment plan to regulate sleep timing and circadian rhythm.
AUDIENCE
This program is appropriate for licensed psychologists and other mental health practitioners. Training is at an introductory level.
