Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) is an effective treatment for insomnia disorder, including when comorbid with another psychological or medical condition. CBTI is currently the gold standard (or first line) treatment for chronic insomnia. This chapter describes special considerations to aid the clinician in the flexible implementation of CBTI in the context of life transitions, common comorbidities, and four specific patient presentations. These include insomnia during perinatal and perimenopausal periods; insomnia comorbid with depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain; as well as patient presentations with high sleep-related anxiety, excessive daytime sleepiness, different chronotypes, and hypnotic medication use.
