Metacognitive Training in Ultra-high Risk

The aim of this pilot study is to examine whether metacognitive training can improve symptoms, wellbeing and functioning in individuals with attenuated psychotic symptoms. Metacognitive group training is an intervention designed to raise awareness on and change cognitive biases that may foster the development of psychotic symptoms such as delusions. It has been shown to be helpful in people with manifest psychosis. The main goal is to assess whether this training is prone to reducing symptoms in individuals at risk for psychosis. Participants will be randomized either to treatment as usual or to treatment as usual plus metacognitive training. Follow-ups will be performed over the period of one year.
