According to Beitel et al (739-750), meta-cognitive approach proposes that mental disorders originate from a chain of uncontrollable worries and highly distressing that make it hard for the patient to effectively control the different resilient behaviors. It is worth noting that this proposition as it is indicated by psychologist, has differing interpretations mostly dependent on the type of mental disorder under consideration and the prevailing enhancing environment.
Leahy (187-189) indicates that this is the major reason why worrying as proposed by meta-cognitive model, has been viewed differently from other types of mental disorders like repetitive thoughts. Leahy (188-192) continues to say that the overall consideration for the meta-cognitive approach is that individuals suffering from uncontrollable distresses use worrying as a major facet to guard or cope with the anticipated bad results or the final anticipated danger.
The approach further indicates that worrying perceptions of the end being catastrophic precede its intensity until when an individual is distracted from the perception and an overall goal, shifting systematic criterion which triggers a sense of the danger ebbing out. It is worth noting that majority of the psychologists recommend that worries should be identified at an early stage to enhance better management and treatment to avoid further bodily harm.
Similar to the meta-cognitive approach, Acceptance & commitment therapy, but on a higher level seeks to assimilate the need for addressing the worries of the stressed people by use of the self context to understand the problem and therefore establish the methods that can be used to treat them. According to Bohus et al (875-887) evidence of the problem is a major aspect in understanding the different measures to be taken in addressing it.
Of greater concern is the patients’ acceptance of the problem as the evidence and therefore a step towards generating the best method to address it. Bohus et al (880-886) continues to say that failure to facilitate this acceptance by the psychologists forms a major recipe for escalation of the problem. Though all forms of mental problems have been cited to have an attachment to this approach, its application at the intensive stages of depression is very hard.
By seeking to gather the reality of the main cause of the problem, most of the approaches establish that values are very essential in the way an individual responds to different stimulus. Therefore, the approach sets the table for change where commitment at this stage assumes a strong notion for enhancing faster recovery and prevention of resilience.
