"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."Odin Hjemdal, PhD, and specialist in clinical psychology, professor of clinical psychology at NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway"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.
