Many adults who experience severe mental illness also suffer from
deficits in metacognition - put simply, thinking about one's own
thought processes - limiting their abilities to recognize, express
and manage naturally occurring painful emotions and routine social
problems as well as to fathom the intentions of others. This book
presents an overview of the field, showing how current research can
inform clinical practice. An international range of expert
contributors provide chapters which look at the role of
metacognitive deficit in personality disorders, schizophrenia, and
mood disorders, and the implications for future psychotherapeutic
treatment. Divided into three parts, areas covered include: how
metacognitive deficits may arise and the different forms they might
take the psychopathology of metacognition in different forms of
mental illness whether specific deficits in metacognition might
help us understand the difficulties seen in differing forms of
severe mental illness. Offering varying perspectives and including
a wealth of clinical material, this book will be of great interest
to all mental health professionals, researchers and practitioners.
