Abstract:
Group-based Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERITg) is the group application of Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT), an evidence-based, integrative, recovery-oriented intervention to enhance insight and understanding of oneself and others in individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). MERITg may offer therapeutic interactions between participants that uniquely support recovery. The goal of the current study was to examine the relationship between MERITg participation and recovery-oriented beliefs. Thirty-one participants (outpatient = 21; inpatient = 10) in SMI treatment programs participated in MERITg as an adjunctive treatment. A short form of the Maryland Assessment of Recovery in Serious Mental Illness (MARS-12) was used to assess recovery-oriented beliefs before and after group participation. Recovery-oriented beliefs significantly improved in the outpatient MERITg group but not in the inpatient group, and change in recovery-oriented beliefs was positively correlated with the total number of groups attended. These findings suggest the promise of MERITg for enhancing recovery-oriented beliefs. The potential role of treatment setting is discussed.
