Insight and psychosis

Recent advances in the cognitive and neurosciences have provided an ideal opportunity to synthesize the work from the varied disciplines studying self-awareness. By bringing together hitherto disparate approaches to the problem of insight in psychosis, this volume provides a deeper understanding of the phenomenology, origins, and clinical implications of insight. The chapters are written by an international panel of experts in their fields. The authors describe how their own orientations and work have contributed to illuminating the questions regarding the nature of insight in psychosis, while remaining mindful of the overarching goal of this book: to bring together in a single volume the most important and up-to-date exemplars of the diverse approaches to understanding insight and its role in the treatment of psychotic disorders.

  • "The cornerstone of any psychiatric evaluation, the mental status exam, requires an assessment of insight - a term commonly employed by clinicians to describe a patient's awareness (or lack thereof) of having a mental disorder. However, the term has become riddled with conceptual ambiguities. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach in order to examine faithfully the nature and significance of insight."
  • "Questo libro indaga in tre direzioni principali. La prima è l'attuale corpo della ricerca in letteratura degli studi neuropsicologici che riguardano l'insight e quindi l'applicazione più generale delle tecniche che derivano dalla neuroscienza cognitiva. La seconda concerne l'attinenza clinica. Alcuni critici del concetto d'insight hanno prestato attenzione a questa questione, che è servita da stimolo sia a noi che ad altri nel settore. Qual è il senso del comprendere qualche aspetto della psicopatologia, se alla fine non fa differenza per la vita delle persone di cui ci stiamo prendendo cura? La terza direzione, sebbene sia un aspetto relativo, è volta a indagare le possibilità evolutive delle conoscenze sull'argomento. C'è stata una rivoluzione silenziosa sia negli aspetti pratici che teorici dell'assistenza sanitaria mentale, vale a dire il maggior peso del movimento dei consumatori negli Stati Uniti, o "movimento degli utenti" come viene chiamato nel Regno Unito. Questo è particolarmente appropriato nelle discussioni sull'insight. La nozione "insight" rischia di essere caricaturalmente sovrapposta a "essere d'accordo col dottore", trascurando così la validità di altre prospettive, in particolare quelle che trasformano l'individuo in paziente. Così, non solo è importante la voce del consumatore in questa area, come in ogni altra area della salute mentale, ma diviene di fatto centrale nel costituire il concetto di insight nelle psicosi."
  • "The insight a patient shares into their own psychosis is fundamental to their condition - it goes to the heart of what we understand 'madness' to be. Can a person be expected to accept treatment for a condition that they deny they have? Can a person be held responsible for their actions if those actions are inspired by their own unique perceptions and beliefs - beliefs that no-one else shares? The topic of insight in schizophrenia and related disorders has become a major focus of research in psychiatry and psychology. It has important clinical implications in terms of outcome, treatment adherence, competence, and forensic issues. In order to study 'insight' a broad perspective is required. This involves applying knowledge from the cognitive and brain sciences, as well as from philosophy and the social sciences. "Insight and Psychosis" comprises a series of in-depth, well-referenced, scholarly overviews from each of these perspectives with a strong empirical foundation - including in some cases the presentation of new data and meta-analysis of the published literature. These are integrated and synthesised by the editors, both acknowledged experts in the field.; The scope is truly international and spans theoretical perspectives, clinical practice, and consumer views. The book will act as a source for students and researchers interested in pursuing any number of questions and controversies around lack of insight and awareness, and will guide clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who seek a broader view of the many facets of insight that might arise during their day-to-day work."
