2024 North American Global Ambassador Event for the World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (WCCBT)

Abstract:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the frontline treatment for Insomnia Disorder; unfortunately, there is a demonstrable knowledge and practice gap in delivering CBT-I with fidelity, particularly in clients with comorbid insomnia. Studies unfortunately show that providers continue to use sleep hygiene as the main strategy for insomnia (Araújo et al., 2017; Ulmer et al., 2017), even with new clinical guidelines advising against the use of it (Edinger et al., 2021). Studies also show that there are unhelpful beliefs about comorbid insomnias that interfere with effective treatment (e.g., that the insomnia is caused by the comorbid disorder and therefore will remit with treating the other disorder) (Ulmer et al., 2017). Part of effective delivery of CBT-I is an in-depth, empirically based understanding of the causal factors for insomnia, and being able to match these factors with evidence-based strategies. This webinar will review interview, sleep diary, and validated questionnaire data from a complex comorbid insomnia case, and use a structured case formulation form, to focus attention on the key insomnia targets for the case. You will receive the clinical tools from the webinar to use with your clients and hone your CBT-I case formulation skills.
