Individualized Metacognitive Therapy (MCT+) for Psychosis (Russian)

For display purposes the below text is in English. However, the manual, worksheets and units are in Russian language!

MCT+ combines the process-oriented approach of metacognitive group training with elements of individual cognitive-behavioral therapy. Six years after the release of the first edition, we are happy to provide the second edition of the MCT+ manual. In light of multiple studies indicating that patients often view their affective problems as more important treatment targets than their positive symptoms, we have broadened the approach, which was initially concerned only with the cognitive biases responsible for psychotic symptoms, so that MCT+ now also helps patients deal with low self-esteem, depression, and stigma. The present program contains new or optimized exercises as well as a new unit on self-esteem. The links below are to a shortened adaptation of the German MCT+ concept. We would be very grateful for feedback on this version.
