Description: This half-day workshop builds on the foundation of sleep education provided in the two-day Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) workshop. Attendees will explore the use of advanced behavioral treatment techniques for insomnia in military-connected patients, which include the management of complexities that may arise in the administration of stimulus control and sleep restriction, additional cognitive strategies to approach dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, and the use of motivational enhancement strategies to facilitate adherence to CBT-I and improve patient outcomes. Illustrative case examples will be presented that allow for attendee discussion and case conceptualization to enhance application of these techniques into clinical practice. Participants are expected to have attended the CBT-I workshop or have equivalent or greater training in CBT-I to complete this advanced course.
Learning Objectives:
- Administer variations of stimulus control consistent with maladaptive conditioning principles
- Prescribe sleep restriction with complex and difficult sleep logs/cases.
- Recognize personal provider factors that may interfere with implementation of behavioral strategies
- Ascertain in what contexts sleep compression may substitute for sleep restriction
- Implement advanced cognitive techniques in the treatment of insomnia.
- Develop skills for motivational enhancement to address CBT-I adherence problems.
