Abstract:
This review explores the definition, assessment and possible restoration of impaired insight in psychosis. Hypotheses concerning the neuropsychological correlates of insight impairment are discussed. The distinction between impaired insight in psychosis and impaired awareness and psychological denial in other medical conditions is emphasised.
