Die metakognitive Therapie nach Wells – theoretischer Hintergrund, Behandlungskomponenten und Evidenz
Abstract
Die Metakognitive Therapie nach Wells wird den neueren Entwicklungen der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie zugerechnet und befasst sich mit metakognitiven Überzeugungen und Regulationsprozessen, welchen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Pathogenese psychischer Störungen beigemessen wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt zunächst das Self-Regulatory Executive Function-Modell (S-REF-Modell) vor, das den theoretischen Hintergrund der Metakognitiven Therapie bildet, und gibt einen Überblick über zentrale Komponenten dieses Therapieansatzes. Empirische Befunde zum S-REF-Modell sowie zur Metakognitiven Therapie werden vorgestellt. Es wurden Arbeiten eingeschlossen, welche sich mit der vollständigen Metakognitiven Therapie oder der Aufmerksamkeitstrainingstechnik, einer Komponente der Metakognitiven Therapie, befassen.
The Metacognitive Therapy by Wells belongs to the newer developments of cognitive behavioral therapy and deals with metacognitive beliefs and regulatory strategies, which are believed to be central to the pathogenesis of mental disorders. The present paper introduces the Self-Regulatory Executive Function-Model (S-REF-Model) as theoretical background of meta-cognitive therapy, and gives an overview about central components of this therapy approach. We proceed to review the empirical findings on the S-REF-Model and metacognitive therapy. We included data, relating to the entire metacognitive therapy or to the Attention training technique, one of its components.
