Description

Metacognitive Therapy is an indispensable guide both for experienced and newly trained therapists who sometimes feel stuck or who are looking for a clear roadmap for conceptualizing and treating complex and comorbid problems.

Drawing on the transdiagnostic approach pioneered by Wells in 2009, Göran Parment uses his extensive clinical experience to guide the reader through the core concepts in MCT, illustrating the theoretical model with clinical examples and references to the latest evidence-based research. The book points out the significant transdiagnostic possibilities across disorders and shows how MCT can be applied to a wide array of common clinical disorders and comorbidities. The case formulation and the therapeutic procedures and applications are illustrated with clinical vignettes and therapist-client dialogues.

The book also discusses common doubts and questions about MCT's application as well as MCT's potential as a paradigm-shifting form of psychotherapy.
