Insomnia disorder is
one of the most prevalent and costly sleep disorders worldwide. It is also
associated with increased risk for a range of physical and psychological
conditions. Despite Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) being
the first line treatment for the management of insomnia, its progress has been
hampered by few trained clinicians.
The aim of this course is to
provide the relevant information from which the learner can identify and assess
cases of insomnia and manage cases using the principles of CBT-I). The first
day of the workshop will introduce the concept and diagnosis of insomnia
disorder, as well as some of the models of insomnia that underpin the use of
CBT-I. Then there will be guidance on assessment, including information on
other sleep disorders and co-morbidities. The last part of day one will examine
when and when not to do CBT-I and introduce you to all the tools you need to
undertake CBT-I. Day two will be solely focused on the elements and delivery of
CBT-I.
Over 2 days we will learn how to:-
Define Insomnia Disorder and it’s
subtypes
Be able to assess for Insomnia
Disorder and other sleep disorders
masking as insomnia (e.g. Restless Legs Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement
Disorder, Narcolepsy) – and identify who is and who is not a suitable candidate
for CBT-I
Conduct CBT-I under peer
supervision, including note and case studies
Determine when brief therapies
and adjunct therapies are needed
