Lecture Description
Over the years, there have been a number of developments in CBT for insomnia regarding: the role of comorbidity in the sleep disturbance, the types of beliefs that interfere with treatment and long term outcomes, the type of techniques for cognitive change, clarifying whether differing approaches are needed for comorbid insomnias, questioning the evidence base for sleep hygiene as a strategy and whether monotherapies are more efficient than delivering the same package to everyone. Despite these developments, there is evidence that outdated beliefs and approaches have continued in the self-help and community treatment settings. Spend a few hours updating your knowledge and skills in treating insomnia disorder with an engaging and entertaining approach to advanced CBT-I. Attendees will learn how to use case formulation to understand complicated insomnia cases and learn which evidence-based strategies are most effective for addressing specific maintaining factors in insomnia.
