Metacognitive Therapy

<p>Metacognitive therapy is based on the principle that worry and rumination are universal processes leading to emotional disorder. These processes are linked to erroneous beliefs about thinking and unhelpful self-regulation strategies.</p><p><em>Metacognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features</em> is an introduction to the theoretical foundations and therapeutic principles of metacognitive therapy. Divided into two sections <em>Theory</em> and <em>Practice</em> and using thirty key points the authors explore how metacognitive therapy can allow people to escape from repetitive thinking patterns that often lead to prolonged psychological distress.</p><p>This book is a valuable resource for both students and practitioners wishing to develop a basic understanding of metacognitive therapy and how it compares and contrasts with traditional forms of cognitive behavioural therapy.</p>
