The Clinician's Guide to Cognitive and Behavioural Therapeutics (CBTx) for Insomnia from Section 4 - Treating Insomnia Using the CBTx Approach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: aN Invalid Date NaN
The role and importance of cognitive factors in the development and maintenance of insomnia have been well recognised for some time. Indeed, insomnia is characterised by several types of challenging thoughts, and these, coupled with hyperarousal, lead to difficulties sleeping. This chapter describes the role of cognitive factors in insomnia and describes in depth a range of cognitive techniques, their background, and the evidence for them. A number of cognitive techniques are described, including cognitive control, paradoxical intention, articulatory suppression, imagery-training, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and problem-solving. For each therapeutic, the reader is provided with specific instructions and narratives to follow to aid in their implementation when working with a patient.
