Please Support Our Work
We are pleased to provide the MCT materials—such as manuals, slides, and worksheets—free of charge. However, to help us continue and expand this work, we kindly ask for your support. We suggest a donation of $35/35€ for individuals or $100/100€ for institutions. Click here to donate.
Your generosity enables us to regularly update and expand the MCT materials, conduct rigorous scientific evaluations, and translate the program into additional languages—allowing more people worldwide to access effective, low-threshold support.
You can donate online via this link. For details on how contributions are used, please see here. We are happy to provide an official donation receipt upon request.
Please note that we have also developed certified e-trainings for MCT for psychosis (www.uke.de/e-mct) and D-MCT for depression (www.uke.de/e-dmct) for therapists. For an e-learning on body-focused repetitive behaviors, see www.uke.de/e-bfrb-training.

Help us to help others!
Given the challenging financial situation of many psychiatric hospitals, our goal is to provide metacognitive training for borderline personality disorder (B-MCT) at a low cost. However, your donation is essential to our work and will help improve the lives of many individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder. We would be very grateful for your support of B-MCT through a donation.
We guarantee that all donations will go toward the further development of B-MCT, including tasks such as translating modules into other languages, creating new graphics, and hiring staff to deliver B-MCT in clinics. Of course, we will send you an official receipt for your donation, which can be used for tax-deduction purposes. Please contact us for more information on sponsorship opportunities
