Medications for the treatment of insomnia are sometimes necessary but most often insufficient to fully address the problem. Cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) by contrast represents an easily taught series of skills that are portable and time and cost effective. CBT-I is a brief intervention that includes cognitive, behavioral, and psychological procedures. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants are able to describe when and for whom CBT-I is an appropriate treatment intervention; define the six primary components of CBT-I; and design CBT-I treatment plans for a variety of adolescent and young adult patients diagnosed with insomnia.
