Clinical Psychiatry News reports on Dr Donna M. Sudak, professor and director of the psychotherapy training program at Drexel University, Philadelphia, said during a premeeting workshop on high-yield brief CBT at the annual meeting of the American College of Psychiatrists.

Brief cognitive-behavioral therapy is particularly helpful for the treatment of insomnia, including insomnia that occurs in association with depression or other psychiatric conditions.

Even cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions lasting only 8-10 minutes, when accompanied by informational handouts, can lead to improvements in insomnia, Dr. Donna M. Sudak, professor and director of the psychotherapy training program at Drexel University, Philadelphia, said during a premeeting workshop on high-yield brief CBT at the annual meeting of the American College of Psychiatrists.
