Individualized metacognitive therapy for psychosis (MCT+) is designed to deepen and adapt the learning objectives of group MCT for individual clients. Click on the appropriate language below for further information and links to the treatment materials. If you are not familiar with group MCT, please visit our page on metacognitive training for psychosis (MCT) first. We have recently developed the second edition of the MCT+ manual, which is, however, currently not available in all languages (the manual can be obtained here). We will update this webpage as other translations of the manual become available.
A recent meta-analysis confirms the efficacy of the approach for the reduction of delusions (Liu et al., 2018).
