Mechanisms of change in metacognitive and cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment-resistant anxiety
Overview
This study examines the mechanisms of change in Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for comorbid anxiety disorders by analyzing weekly data from 74 randomized inpatients. It investigates within-person relationships between features of the cognitive attentional syndrome and anxiety levels over the course of treatment. The results indicate that while all cognitive attentional syndrome features decreased, negative and positive metacognitive beliefs declined more significantly in MCT. Additionally, time-specific changes in positive metacognitive beliefs were found to predict subsequent variations in anxiety across both treatment groups.
