A new instrument for measuring insight: the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale

Relationship between Recovery and Cognitive Insight, Neurocognition, Social Functioning, and Symptoms in Patients with Schizophrenia: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…This comprises 15 items and two subscales: nine self-reflectiveness items assessing objectivity, reflection, and openness to feedback, and six self-certainty items assessing certainty about being right and resistance to correction [19,37]. Each item was scored using a 4-point scale (0, do not agree at all; to 3, agree completely), with a higher score of self-reflectiveness indicating greater objectivity, and recognition of self and situation and with a higher score of self-certainty indicating greater certitude and confidence in one's belief.…”

“…Within this approach, a lack of clinical insight has been accepted as a hallmark feature of schizophrenia, where insight is defined as awareness of having a mental illness, of specific symptoms and their attribution to the disorder, of social consequences, and of need for treatment [15−18]. An important extension of the concept of clinical insight was proposed by Beck et al [19]. They suggested that although clinical insight focuses on awareness of illness factors, the concept of ''cognitive insight" focuses on the cognitive processes involved in correcting erroneous judgments and certainty about mistaken judgments.…”

“…They suggested that although clinical insight focuses on awareness of illness factors, the concept of ''cognitive insight" focuses on the cognitive processes involved in correcting erroneous judgments and certainty about mistaken judgments. Beck et al [19] distinguishes the traditional approach to clinical insight from cognitive insight, suggesting that the latter is a form of cognitive flexibility that encompasses the evaluation and correction of distorted beliefs and misinterpretations. It has been proposed that patients with schizophrenia, particularly those with delusions, have a limited capacity to evaluate erroneous inferences, to distance themselves from and reflect on their psychotic experiences, and to respond to corrective feedback [20,21].…”

La relación entre la percepción subjetiva del funcionamiento cognitivo y el autoestigma con la experiencia de recuperación de las personas con enfermedad mental grave

“…Para una exploración del insight desde una aproximación cognitiva empleamos la adaptación y validación española de la Escala de Evaluación del Insight Cognitivo de Beck et al (16,36). Es una medida de autoregistro de 15 ítems que valora cómo los pacientes evalúan su propio juicio.…”
