Assessing Patient Satisfaction With Metacognitive Training (MCT) for Psychosis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Objectives: Metacognitive training (MCT) for psychosis is a group intervention that combines cognitive-behavioural therapy and psychoeducation. It has proven efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms and correcting cognitive biases implicated in the development and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. However, other outcomes, such as patient satisfaction with the intervention, have not been well studied despite their importance for adherence and overall success.
