From reviews of the First Edition: `This book can be highly recommended as a landmark publication in a hitherto much neglected field. It presents a stimulating mix of theory, systematic research and basic clinical observation, and illustrates well the contribution of the new breed of clinician/neuroscientist to the advancement of understanding in a difficult and important arena. This work will doubtless become the major reference book for those working in the field for quite some time.' Cognitive Neuropsychiatry `The authors have accomplished what they apparently sought to achieve: to bring much of this growing and vibrant literature to the attention of a larger academic and clinical readership in one place.' Psychological Medicine

This is the second edition of Amador and David's enormously influential book and contains much new material - notably on neuropsychological research and the clinical relevance of stakeholders, including service users and carers. The quality of the papers is outstanding: in particular Jolley and Gartey on cognitive psychological approaches to delusions, Fulford's philosophical analysis, Torrey on violence and insight, McEvoy on compliance with medication and Frese's first-person perspective. Reading this book has changed my understanding of the concept of insight. I can no longer think of it simply as agreeing with the doctor. This is a book that should be read by all mental health professionals. Carers and service users, and those who work in philosophy or the social sciences and are interested in disability, awareness, and mental health, would also find it of interest. Mental Health Today This is possibly the most comprehensive book on insight available and it tackles an enormous task extremely well ... this is a book to be highly recommended to anyone seeking a broader view of the many facets of insight that might arise during their clinical work. It would be well placed as a book of reference for students, general practitioners, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who wish to delve into this fascinating subject. Primary Care Psychiatry, Vol 9, No 4
