25 inpatients with schizophrenia were examined to explore the relationship between insight and psychopathology and illness severity over a four-week period. The average degree of insight improved irrespective of the type of recovery. There was no consistent relationship between the changes in insight and changes in psychopathology. The severity of mental illness and awareness of mental disorder showed a semi-independent pattern of association. It is concluded that insight operates to some extent independent of psychopathology and severity of illness.
对 25 名精神分裂症住院患者进行了检查,以探讨在四周内的时间里,患者的洞察力与其精神病理学和疾病严重程度之间的关系。无论恢复类型如何,患者的洞察力平均水平都有所提高。洞察力的变化与精神病理学的变化之间没有一致的关系。精神疾病的严重程度和对精神障碍的认识表现出一种半独立的关联模式。结论是,洞察力在某种程度上独立于精神病理学和疾病严重程度而发挥作用。
