Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Die Metakognitive Therapie (MCT) ist eine Weiterentwicklung der Kognitiven Therapie und wurde von Adrian Wells in den 1990ern für Erwachsene mit Angststörungen und Depression entwickelt. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt erstmals eine transdiagnostische Adaptation der MCT für Kinder und Jugendliche vor. Die Behandlung zielt darauf ab, negative perseverierende Denkprozesse, maladaptive Aufmerksamkeitsstrategien und Lösungsversuche zu reduzieren, während im Unterschied zur Kognitiven Therapie Gedankeninhalte und Überzeugungen nicht fokussiert werden. Die empirische Überprüfung der MCT für Kinder und Jugendliche steht noch ganz am Anfang.
Abstract. Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is a further development of cognitive therapy and was developed by Adrian Wells in the 1990s to treat adults suffering from anxiety disorders and depression. For the first time, this paper introduces a transdiagnostic adaptation of MCT to children and adolescents. Instead of focusing on the content of thoughts or beliefs, as in cognitive therapy, the treatment focuses on reducing negative perseverating thought processes as well as maladaptive attention strategies and coping behaviors. The empirical verification of MCT for children and adolescents is still in a very early stage.
