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? This book examines the problems involved in studying insight in patients with mental illness and puts forward a new model to illustrate the relationship between different components of insight in theoretical and clinical terms.
