App COGITO - new treatment program against chronic pain
Dear donors,
In our August newsletter, we announced that we aim to expand the COGITO self-help app to include exercises for chronic pain. This has now been done and the new program package with 26 exercises is now available in German (English is to follow). You can download the app from the App Store (search for "COGITO MCT") or here: https://clinical-neuropsychology.de/cogito-en/
COGITO should accompany metacognitive training (MCT; http://www.uke.de/mct) but can also be used as a stand-alone intervention. Two studies have proven its effectiveness in the improvement of self-esteem and depression (see https://clinical-neuropsychology.de/cogito-en/).
Thanks to your donation the app will remain free of charge and free of advertising.
Thank you very much for your support. Next, we are planning program packages for addiction.
Kind regards, on behalf of the entire research team
