Description:
This half-day workshop builds on the foundation of sleep education provided in the 2-day Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) workshop. Detailed instruction on circadian rhythm physiology provides an understanding of contributors to both normative patterns and development of disorders. We then explore assessment specific to circadian rhythm disorders and introduce clinical interventions for the two most common in Service members: Delayed Sleep Wake Phase Disorder and Shift Work Disorder. Step-by-step guidance illustrated by examples underscore recommended techniques. Participants are expected to have attended the CBT-I workshop or have equivalent or greater training in CBT-I to complete this advanced course; for a review of sleep basics such as regulation and mechanisms, we recommend viewing the CDP Presents webinar recording “The Basics of Sleep: What Every Provider Needs to Know” This program content focuses on application of psychological assessment and intervention methods for treating suicidal patients that have consistent and credible empirical support in the scientific literature (Meyer et al, 2022; Doty et al, 2019; USA FM7-22, 2020; Ashbrook et al., 2020; Wilson et al., 2019).
