TI  - The relationship between insight and clinical factors for persons with 
      schizophrenia.
PG  - 259-65
AB  - This correlational study examined the relationship of insight with positive and 
      negative symptoms and level of functioning among persons with schizophrenia or 
      schizoaffective disorder. Poor insight as a symptom of schizophrenia is the 
      conceptual framework. Thirty-seven people receiving assertive community 
      treatment, inpatient hospitalization, or outpatient treatment were assessed using 
      2 self-rating insight scales, the Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms 
      (SAPS), the Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), and the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning (GAF). A significant negative correlation was found 
      between insight and positive formal thought disorder. No significant 
      relationships were found between insight and negative symptoms or level of 
      functioning. Reactions to the self-rating insight tools suggest necessary 
      revisions of the insight tool.
