Metacognitive Training (MCT) workshops: Further education

Face-to-face workshops

We regularly offer practical in-person workshops on metacognitive training for people with psychosis (MCT: group MCT; individualized MCT (MCT+), MCT for acute patients (MCT-Acute)), depression (D-MCT), and older people with depression (MCT-Silver). These are intended for psychologists, physicians, psychotherapists, psychiatric nurses, and occupational therapists.

Workshops in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe

All of our MCT materials are available as a free download (www.uke.de/mct), and we are happy to provide training to clinicians interested running MCT groups. Although training via a workshop is not mandatory to use our materials, we have received a large number of requests for workshops from colleagues and are happy to provide training to clinicians interested in running MCT groups.

We typically run a two-day workshop for groups of clinicians. Please contact us for further information regarding costs.

The workshop typically covers the following topics:

1. Research and theoretical background related to each of the MCT modules
2. Practical tips on leading each MCT module or session (e.g., how to convey specific exercises, role-playing)
3. How to integrate principles of group cognitive behavioral therapy when facilitating MCT groups
