Features & Capabilities

"MCT & More" (stands for Metacognitive Training and more) is a free self-help app for people with or without psychological problems (affected persons, treatment providers, students and relatives). You can select different program packages depending on the issues you want to work on. For example, one of the program packages is specifically designed for people with a gambling problem. Another program package is intended for people who have psychotic experiences (ideally, this program package should be used along with Metacognitive Training for Psychosis (MCT), available at no cost from uke.de/mct.

The self-help exercises used in the app are based on scientifically recognized techniques of cognitive behavior therapy as well as Metacognitive Training (MCT) that reduce emotional problems such as sadness and loneliness and also improve problems with impulse control. Each day, you will receive a new exercise. The exercises take just a few minutes and can easily be integrated into your everyday life. A push message will remind you to do the exercises regularly (optional feature). You will also be able to write your own exercises or to modify existing exercises. So, you can turn the app into your personal “guardian angel.” However, the app does not automatically adapt to the user's behavior (a learning algorithm has not been included).

Taking care of your personal psychological well-being is a bit like brushing your teeth: you have to do the exercises regularly so that they become routine and change your mood. Therefore, the app tries to support you in carrying out the self-help exercises as regularly as possible so that they become second nature and change your mental state. Reading about and understanding a problem are helpful but not sufficient and usually do not lead to any lasting changes. You will benefit the most from the app if you actively participate and practice continuously! A scientific study of 90 participants with psychological problems showed that a pilot version of the app was rated positively (89% rated the quality of the app as excellent or good). Participants who used the app regularly experienced a significant reduction in their depressiveness over time. Compared to a wait list control group, the difference reached a statistical trend level (Lüdtke, Pult, Schröder, Moritz & Bücker, 2018, Psychiatry Research). The exercises are repeated over time. This is good! Only through regular repetition is it possible to overcome difficulties permanently. For an extended tutorial see: clinical-neuropsychology.de/app_en

Important note: The self-help app cannot replace psychotherapy and is intended solely as a self-help approach. The self-help app is not an appropriate treatment for acute life crises or suicidal tendencies. In the event of an acute crisis, please seek professional help.

Gave me a great option for worksheets outside the app but the app itself is kinda bad. Too plain. I love the gambling part.
