Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Clinical Handbook of Insomnia

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Neurology ((CCNEU))

Abstract

In this chapter we provide an overview of how chronic insomnia is assessed and treated using cognitive behavioral treatments. In addition, we provide some (1) “information” which reviews the cognitive and behavioral theories regarding the etiology of chronic insomnia that set up the rationale for treatment approaches and (2) information on the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia and (3) recent innovations in the delivery of CBT for insomnia, such as brief interventions developed for medical and community settings and use of technology. The former is provided so that the reader may appreciate the principles on which CBT is founded. The latter is provided so that the reader may appreciate the extent to which CBT for insomnia has been empirically validated, studied, and disseminated.
