Within the new emerging treatment approaches, Contextual Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CCBT) seem to hold promise for the psychosis continuum. However, considering their novelty for this specific population, the quality of efficacy evidence remains unclear. Objective: To examine, critically analyze, and summarize the results from studies based on therapeutic models within the CCBT approach (Mindfulness and Acceptance-based interventions, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Metacognitive Therapy) for patients with a diagnosis within the psychosis continuum (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder). Methods: Three leading electronic databases (MEDLINE/PUBMED; PsycINFO; Cochrane Library), a grey literature database (OpenGrey), and registered clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.Gov) were searched using combinations of key terms regarding the CCBT models and the diagnosis considered.

When a special master issues a decision or substantive order, the parties have 14 days within which to move for the redaction of privileged or confidential information before the document’s public disclosure. In this case, petitioners have elected to waive the 14-day period afforded for redaction requests prior to the public disclosure of an issued decision.

  • Metacognitive Training for Obsessive
    Miegel et al. BMC Psychiatry (2020) 20:350 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-020-02648-3 STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Metacognitive Training for Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial Franziska Miegel* , Cüneyt Demiralay, Steffen Moritz, Janina Wirtz, Birgit Hottenrott and Lena Jelinek Abstract Background: A high number of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) do not receive cognitive- behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention, which is the most effective treatment for OCD. Therefore, Metacognitive Training for OCD (MCT-OCD) was developed, which is a structured group therapy aiming at the modification of dysfunctional (meta-)cognitive biases, beliefs and coping styles. It can be administered by less trained personnel, thus may reach a higher number of patients. An uncontrolled pilot study (MCT-OCD pilot version) provided first evidence that the training is highly accepted by 2 patients; OC symptoms decreased with a high effect size (η partial = 0.50). The aim of the present study is to address the shortcomings of the pilot study (e.g., no control group) and to assess the efficacy of the revised version of the MCT-OCD in the framework of a randomized controlled trial. Methods: Eighty patients with OCD will be recruited. After a blinded assessment at baseline (−t1), patients will be randomly assigned either to the intervention group (MCT-OCD; n = 40) or to a care as usual control group (n = 40). The MCT-OCD aims to enhance patients’ metacognitive competence in eight modules by addressing dysfunctional (meta-)cognitive biases and beliefs associated with OCD (e.g., intolerance of uncertainty).
