Who
is This Course For?
Insomnia
is one of the most frequent complaints most clinicians will hear during
their entire career. But for all of its prevalence, and its cost, very
few mental health professionals receive any training in working with
clients with this problem.
Foundations
in the Assessment
and Treatment of Insomnia is designed to help psychologists,
family therapists, clinical social workers, and counselors develop and demonstrate a
defined set of competencies focused on helping clients with
insomnia. It is a skill-centered course, with evidence-based research
and the most widely-used assessment instruments presented.
Foundations
in the Assessment
and Treatment of Insomnia is equivalent to a full semester
academic course. Participants complete a range of assignments
and receive substantive feedback from the instructor.
|
Beyond
the Foundations
Foundations
in the Assessment and Treatment of Insomnia is a complete
course, structured around a comprehensive conceptual model.
But it does not cover every dimension of insomnia or every
intervention that can be used. It covers enough to help many
clients with insomnia, but not all clients with insomnia.
Building on the Foundations:
The course will continue to grow. Additional
course modules will demonstrate
