Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Antipsychotic medications offer partial efficacy for schizophrenia, particularly for positive symptoms and insight.
  • Cognitive distortions and metacognitive deficits can exacerbate positive symptoms and impair social functioning in schizophrenia.
  • Targeted interventions addressing cognitive processes and metacognition are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the short-term effects of Metacognitive Training (MCT) on insight, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia.
  • To compare the efficacy of MCT against supportive therapy as an adjuvant treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and persistent positive symptoms were randomized to either supportive therapy or MCT.
  • Both interventions consisted of 1-hour sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks.
  • Assessments included the Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder, PANSS, Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales, Calgary Depression Scale, and Quality of Life Scale.

Main Results:

  • MCT significantly reduced positive symptomatology as measured by the PANSS positive scale compared to supportive therapy.
  • A trend favoring MCT was observed for improved insight into hallucinations.
  • No significant differences were found in depression or overall quality of life between groups.

Conclusions:

  • Metacognitive Training (MCT) is effective in reducing positive symptoms in schizophrenia.
  • MCT shows a potential positive trend in improving insight and social functioning.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects and broader impact of MCT.
