Metacognitive Therapy is an indispensable guide both for experienced and newly trained therapists who sometimes feel stuck or who are looking for a clear roadmap for conceptualizing and treating complex and comorbid problems.
Drawing on the transdiagnostic approach pioneered by Wells in 2009, Göran Parment uses his extensive clinical experience to guide the reader through the core concepts in MCT, illustrating the theoretical model with clinical examples and references to the latest evidence-based research. The book points out the significant transdiagnostic possibilities across disorders and shows how MCT can be applied to a wide array of common clinical disorders and comorbidities. The case formulation and the therapeutic procedures and applications are illustrated with clinical vignettes and therapist-client dialogues.
The book also discusses common doubts and questions about MCT's application as well as MCT's potential as a paradigm-shifting form of psychotherapy.
Reviews and Endorsements
Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is based on a psychological model for how humans process information and specify how related psychological processes are affected across mental disorders. The clear scientific foundation, combined with related clinical interventions, is bringing the field of treating mental disorders forward. Göran Parment’s years of clinical experience clearly shine through in his writing, making it an easy read with high relevance for clinical practice across a wide range of mental disorders and psychological problems.

Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is a research-oriented psychological treatment, developed from the bottom up based on key psychological processes. Göran Parment has extensive clinical experience, which is truly evident in this specific book. For clinicians who want to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice in MCT, this is the book to read.
Sverre Urnes Johnson, PhD, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Oslo
Encompassing both theoretical model and concepts and clinical case examples, this is an excellent introduction to metacognitive therapy, indispensable for everyone interested in this innovative treatment approach—researchers, clinicians, and students alike. The author is especially commended for putting an emphasis on transdiagnostic perspectives.
