Abstract
Metacognition and mentalising are central change mechanisms in psychotherapy, with transdiagnostic relevance. The how, why and when of metacognition creates a roadmap for psychotherapy, enhancing awareness, understanding and options for changing maladaptive behaviours that maintain psychiatric disorders. This offers a framework for psychotherapy, fostering deeper self-understanding and improved interpersonal interactions.
