Description of Presentation

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (or CBT-I) is consistently recommended as the first-line treatment of choice for primary insomnia. It is very effective over about 4 to 8 sessions and clinicians can very quickly gain competence in delivering it safely and effectively. In this presentation I will cover the key elements and interventions of this treatment and provide materials that are helpful for clinicians. The emphasis will be on how to use this treatment with the kinds of patients we encounter in real world settings who often have multiple psychiatric and medical diagnoses. This treatment is still very effective, but may require a bit of flexibility and creativity on the part of the clinician.

Learning Objectives

After completing this seminar, participants should be able to:

1) explain the 2-process model of sleep
2) understand how sleep restriction improves insomnia
3) explain key aspects of stimulus control to improve sleep, and
4) know how to use sleep diaries to help people who suffer from insomnia

 

*Individuals must attend the entire presentation and submit a presentation evaluation in order to receive their CEs/CEUs.  A certificate of attendance awarding CEs/CEUs will not be emailed to attendees under any circumstances.
About the presenter: Jared Minkel completed his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania under the mentorship of Prof. David Dinges investigating how experimental sleep deprivation affects stress and emotions in healthy adults. He went on to complete additional postdoctoral work at Duke University Medical Center where he studied sleep disorders more specifically and focused on blending medications with behavioral treatments for sleep problems. Until very recently he served as the director of the adult Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at Rhode Island Hospital where they provided training and supervision for students at Brown and URI. He now works for Happify Health developing computerized interventions for chronic conditions to complement traditional treatment approaches.
