Description
This manual is designed to serve as a training resource for therapists completing the VA CBT-I Training Program as well as for
others, inside and outside of VHA, who are interested in further developing their CBT-I skills. The manual and therapy protocol
are intended for mental health providers who do not necessarily have specific background or specialization in sleep medicine. This
protocol places emphasis on case conceptualization, as in other CBT protocols being implemented in VHA (e.g., Wenzel, Brown,
& Karlin, 2011). The conceptualization guides the direction of this individualized therapy as it takes place within the context of a
collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship.
The hope is that this manual is useful to both seasoned and new CBT-I therapists working with Veterans. Included in the Appendix
of this manual are therapy forms and other helpful tools for implementing CBT-I. The writers of this manual wish readers the best
in their pursuits to help Veterans improve sleep and, consequently, improve overall quality of life.
Target audience: Psychologists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, social workers, addiction counselors, nurses.
Format: Asynchronous, reading-based distance learning. Non-interactive.
This CE course is designated as beginner level.
Content Category: Clinical
