Metacognitive Therapy

Metacognitive Therapy is a psychological intervention framework within cognitive-behavioral treatment modalities that specifically targets maladaptive metacognitive beliefs and processes underlying persistent thought patterns, distinguishing itself by focusing on modifying the meta-level control strategies—such as rumination, worry, and attentional fixation—rather than the content of thoughts themselves.
