If you administer metacognitive training for psychosis (MCT), please send us a short notification. We are grateful for comments, criticisms and recommendations for improvement. Interested in our e-learning showing you how to facilitate the intervention? Please click here.

For module 6, we recommend using the so-called BADE version (see manual). Videos that depict cognitive biases and which can serve as visual aids to improve understanding can be found here.

Because many people with psychosis feel stigmatized and suffer from poor self-esteem, they would like these topics to also be addressed in therapy. Therefore, we decided to incorporate these aspects into MCT. The two new modules can be conducted in addition to the standard modules, or as standalone sessions (the therapist can determine the structure that best meets the needs of their clients). We advise trainers to continue conducting eight modules per cycle (ideally with completion within four weeks).

Reminder

Every MCT participant receives a yellow and a red card that easily fit into a purse. The yellow card asks three essential questions, which may help to prevent the formation of hasty, false and consequential conclusions:

1. What is the evidence?
2. Are there alternative views?
3. Even if it's like that...am I over-reacting?

On the red card, the patient is encouraged to write down the names of persons and institutions with corresponding telephone numbers who may help when a crisis occurs.

Help us to help others!

Given the limited budgets in many psychiatric hospitals, it is our goal to ensure that MCT remains accessible to anyone interested in using it. However, maintaining the MCT program, as well as continuing to improve and develop it, requires significant personnel and financial resources. If you want to support MCT, we would be very grateful for donations. We will, of course, continue to provide support and assistance to anyone using the program.

Thank you for your continued support. We guarantee that all donations will go to the further development of MCT (future tasks: translation of modules into other languages, new graphics, hiring of students to perform MCT in institutions). On request, we can send you a receipt for your donation: please send an email to Steffen Moritz (moritz@uke.de) and include your mail address.
