Metacognitive training

Metacognitive training (MCT) is an approach for treating the symptoms of psychosis in schizophrenia,^[1] especially delusions,^[2] which has been adapted for other disorders such as depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder and borderline over the years (see below). It was developed by Steffen Moritz and Todd Woodward. The intervention is based on the theoretical principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, but focuses in particular on problematic thinking styles (cognitive biases) that are associated with the development and maintenance of positive symptoms, e.g. overconfidence in errors and jumping to conclusions.^[3] Metacognitive training exists as a group training (MCT) and as an individualized intervention (MCT+).^[4]
