Metacognitive training in the acute psychiatric care setting: feasibility, acceptability, and safety.

ABSTRACT: Patients on acute psychiatric wards desire more psychosocial treatment than they receive, according to recent studies, but evidence-based interventions tailored to this setting are currently lacking.
