Abstract
Schizophrenia is a long-term mental disorder that decreases natural cognitive abilities such as thinking, understanding, comprehension, or imagination in the individual. Dysfunctions in schizophrenia derive from a number of biological activities based on psychopathological processes such as symptoms of the disease, neurocognitive deficits and social factors. The clinical appearance which especially expressed by negative symptoms in schizophrenia is closely related to metacognitive skills. Since the concept of metacognition has emerged, it has been defined within the framework of the fact that having an information about the state of one's own cognitive system and being able to control this system. It has been revealed that metacognitive loss is privileged in the appearance of schizophrenia through studies conducted in recent years. Impairments of executive functions and theory of mind process within the scope of metacognitive neurobiology in patients cause the obstacles for metacognitive activities. Program development studies targeting metacognitive deficiencies and planned intervention studies for the measurement and evaluation of this area in patients have gained momentum in recent years. In this review article, it is aimed to evaluate the current literature on schizophrenia in the field of metacognition, to draw attention of psychiatry workers for importance of matter and to put into practice the new initiatives for integrating patients with society.
