Description
Questions concerning the nature of insight in patients with mental illness have interested clinicians for a long time.
To what extent can patients understand disorders which affect their mental function?
Does insight carry a prognostic value? Is impaired insight determined by the illness or are other factors important?
Despite considerable research examining insight in patients with psychoses, non-psychotic disorders and chronic organic brain syndromes, results are inconclusive and insight remains a source of some mystification.
Ivana S. Markova examines the problems involved in studying insight in patients with mental illness in order to provide a clearer understanding of the factors that determine its clinical manifestation.
She puts forward a new model to illustrate the relationship between different components of insight in theoretical and clinical terms, and points to directions for future research.
