The Scope of Metacognitive Therapy in the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders
Overview
This narrative review outlines the application of Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), a transdiagnostic intervention developed by Adrian Wells, across various psychiatric conditions including mood, anxiety, trauma, and psychotic disorders. The authors describe the therapy's basis in the Self-Regulatory Executive Function model and its focus on reducing dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs about worry and rumination. The resource also discusses the advantages and limitations of current MCT research and proposes methods for systematically examining its role in psychiatry.
