Qualitative Analysis of Emotional Distress in Cardiac Patients From the Perspectives of Cognitive Behavioral and Metacognitive Theories: Why Might Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Have Limited Benefit, and Might Metacognitive Therapy Be More Effective?
Overview
This paper compares cognitive behavioral and metacognitive theories regarding emotional distress in cardiac patients through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 49 individuals. It explores why CBT may have limited efficacy for this population by highlighting the difficulty of distinguishing realistic from unrealistic thoughts about health risks, whereas MCT conceptualizes these experiences under a single category of perseverative negative thinking.
