TREATMENT: Group Metacognitive Training for Schizophrenia

BRIEF SUMMARY

Basic premise: "Metacognitive training (MCT) is a structured group intervention, which enhances a patient's reflection on cognitive biases and improves problem-solving. Metacognitive training (MCT) is a new group treatment programme developed for patients with schizophrenia (Moritz and Woodward, 2007a, Moritz and Woodward, 2007b, Moritz et al., 2005) to improve patient thinking regarding their biased thoughts by enhancing metacognitive skills."
