Metacognitive therapy
Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is a psychological "talking therapy" for the treatment of mental illness. It was created by Professor Adrian Wells based on an information processing model by Wells and Matthews. It is supported by scientific evidence from a large number of studies.〔13〕 The goals of MCT are to first discover what patients believe about their own thoughts and how their mind works (called metacognitive beliefs), then show the patient how these beliefs lead to unhelpful responses to thoughts that serve to unintentionally prolong or worsen symptoms, and finally to provide alternative ways of responding to thoughts in order to allow a reduction of symptoms. In clinical practice, MCT is most commonly used for treating anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), health anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as depression- though the model was designed to be ''transdiagnostic'' (meaning it focuses on common psychological factors thought to maintain all psychological disorders).
== Background and origins ==
Metacognition (for "after" (meta), "thought" (cognition) ) refers to the human capacity to be aware of and control one's own thoughts and internal mental processes. Metacognition has been studied for several decades by researchers, originally as part of developmental psychology and neuropsychology. Examples of metacognition include a person knowing what thoughts are currently in their mind, where the focus of their attention is and a person's beliefs about their own thoughts (which may or may not be accurate).
