The treatment program "Metacognitive training for patients with schizophrenia" (MCT) addresses cognitive deficits and biases assumed to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of delusions (e.g. jumping to conclusions, theory of mind deficits, bias against disconfirmatory evidence). The feasibility of this approach and its effects on positive symptoms and cognitive biases were investigated in this pilot study.
