Abstract
Recent developments in the research and clinical literatures have highlighted the importance of focusing on higher-order cognitive processes in the treatment of psychotic disorders. A particular emphasis has been placed on how impairments in self-monitoring and the ability to form mental representations of others uniquely manifest in psychosis. At the same time, the recovery movement has influenced clinical innovations by emphasizing the importance of subjective domains of recovery that privilege the individual's phenomenological experience. In this column, we outline 2 emerging approaches to the treatment of psychosis, Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy and Mentalization-based Therapy for Psychosis, highlighting the ways that each approach targets higher-order cognitive processes as a focused point of intervention, while maintaining a collaborative treatment approach that values the patient's agency.
