Objectives:
To demonstrate the effects of a metacognitive reflection and insight therapy (MERIT) in people suffering from psychiatric disorders.
Method:
A systematic review was carried out on PubMed, PsychInfo, Psycharticles and Psychological and Behavioral Science Collection from 1980 to 2024.
Results:
The review included five randomized controlled studies, four observational group studies and 22 case studies with quantitative measures. Analyses indicated that MERIT significantly increases metacognitive abilities to reflect on oneself and others, as well as mastery of one's strategies. In addition, some studies found an improvement in insight and symptomatology. Most studies included participants with psychotic disorders.
Conclusion:
MERIT is an effective therapy for promoting subjective recovery by improving metacognitive abilities in people with psychotic disorders. However, further studies are needed to generalize this result to other psychiatric disorders.
