METACOGNITION AND PSYCHOSIS:
Clinical Application of “Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy” for Psychosis and Cluster A
* LIVE WEBINAR WITH PAUL LYSAKER *
SUMMARY
A growing body of research has suggested that many diagnosed with psychosis experience deficits in metacognitive or the ability to form integrated ideas about themselves and others.
As a result, they may struggle to form evolving and nuanced ideas about the challenges they face and how they might best effectively manage them and move towards recovery.
Spurred on by this research an integrative psychotherapy framework has been developed to help promote metacognitive capacity for adults with psychosis .
Referred to as Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy or MERIT, this integrative approach is intended to provide clinicians with the skills to implement and evaluate their intervention.
It’s ultimate goal is to assist patients to make personally meaningful sense of the challenges they face and decide how to actively manage those, ultimately enabling self-directive recovery.
This workshop will present the key elements and research supporting MERIT and provide illustrations for treatment as well as methods for assessment.
