| Sumario: | Metacognitive training in depression is a treatment concept that adopts a metacognitive perspective to focus on changing cognitive biases and dysfunctional beliefs. It also targets dysfunctional assumptions about people's thought processes as well as dysfunctional coping strategies (such as social withdrawal, thought suppression, problem-solving, and rumination). This study was conducted to determine the effect on metacognition and ruminative thinking levels of metacognitive training given to depression patients. Research is carried out in the pretest–posttest and randomized experimental design to detect the effect of metacognitive training applied on metacognition and ruminative thought levels. A total of 62 patients diagnosed with depression, including 32 patients in the experimental group and 30 patients in the control group, compose the sample of the study. In the pretest, no significant difference was observed in the experimental and control groups in terms of the mean scores of MCQ and RTSQ. In the posttest, it was determined that the mean scores of MCQ and RTSQ were significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group.
