Metacognitive and cognitive-behavioral interventions for psychosis: new developments.
Open accessAbstract
This review describes four cognitive approaches for the treatment of schizophrenia: cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp), metacognitive therapy, metacognitive training, and metacognitive reflection insight therapy (MERIT). A central reference point of our review is a seminal paper by James Flavell, who introduced the term metacognition ("cognition about cognition"). In a way, every psychotherapeutic approach adopts a metacognitive perspective when therapists reflect with clients about their thoughts. Yet, the four approaches map onto different components of metacognition. CBTp conveys some "metacognitive knowledge" (eg, thoughts are not facts) but is mainly concerned with individual beliefs. Metacognitive therapy focuses on unhelpful metacognitive beliefs about thinking styles (eg, thought suppression). Metacognitive training brings distorted cognitive biases to the awareness of patients; a central goal is the reduction of overconfidence. MERIT focuses on larger senses of identity and highlights metacognitive knowledge about oneself and other persons. For CBTp and metacognitive training, meta-analytic evidence supports their efficacy; single studies speak for the effectiveness of MERIT and metacognitive therapy. .

In the citing paper
“Deficits in metacognitive knowledge and awareness moreover are believed to lead to cognitive distortions (e.g., jumping to conclusions, attributional biases, theory of mind deficits) (60), dysfunctional beliefs and expectancies (associated with a low self-esteem and negative symptoms) (10, 95) and a lack of cognitive insight into those cognitive biases (96).”

In the citing paper
“Compared to Metacognitive Therapy by Wells and Matthews, MCT not only focuses on general thinking mechanisms from a metacognitive perspective, but also on specific thoughts from a cognitive one by directly addressing thought contents (60).”

In the citing paper
“The concept of MCT by Moritz and Woodward was originally inspired by research on cognitive biases in psychosis (65) and aims to convey metacognitive knowledge and raise metacognitive awareness for dysfunctional thought patterns (60, 122).”

In the citing paper
“Although MCT was originally developed for psychosis, it has been adapted for use in treating other disorders such as depression and personality disorders and can be applied in a transdiagnostic manner (60).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
