Summary

Survival rates in cancer continue to improve, with over 2 million adult cancer survivors in the United Kingdom, projected to increase to 4 million by 2030. Around 25% of these survivors require treatment for clinical levels of emotional distress. The investigators will conduct a phase I open trial to test the potential efficacy of MCT in cancer survivors.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Metacognitive Therapy

MCT helps patients to understand the deleterious and counterproductive effects of responding to negative thoughts and feelings with worry and rumination. Treatment aims to enable patients to exert greater metacognitive control over their worry and rumination. The positive and negative metacognitive beliefs that keep perseverative thinking in place are modified, using verbal and behavioural reattribution and through specifically designed therapeutic methods.
