Metacognition is the ability to recognize, comprehend, and control one’s mental functions. These functions can range from problem-solving and decision-making to memory and learning. Deficits in metacognition are associated with severe adverse life outcomes across the lifespan, such as social dysfunction, poor educational attainment, mental health and physical problems, substance use, and criminality.

This program examines metacognition deficits' impact on clinical and forensic mental health populations and their implications for physical health, behavior, mood, and cognition. Implications for intake, screening, and intervention are highlighted through a clinical and forensic mental health lens. Empirically based research findings are examined throughout this program.
