The sixth webinar in the series, Cognitive Approaches to Insomnia Treatment – Dysfunctional Thinking, will be presented by Colleen Carney, PhD, on May 28, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. CT.
Considerable research has amassed to support a cognitive model in insomnia; that is, people with insomnia have a range of cognitive-emotional processes that make it more likely for the insomnia to continue. Cognitive Approaches to Insomnia Treatment – Dysfunctional Thinking will trace the origins of current cognitive theories and provide a review and discussion of the evidence for the contemporary cognitive model of insomnia. In addition to a theoretical overview, the webinar will focus on techniques for cognitive restructuring; namely psychoeducation, Socratic questioning and the Thought Record. Dr. Carney will also talk about the applicability of the cognitive model to co-morbid insomnias and suggest some future directions in the area.
The registration fee ($100 for members, $170 for nonmembers) includes access to the live session and an archived CD-ROM copy of the presentation sent via mail following the live webinar.
