[The concept of narrative insight in schizophrenia: A systematic review].

CONCLUSION: It seems necessary to take into account the concept of narrative insight in order to evaluate insight of patients suffering from mental illness. This implies that the evaluation methods of insight as well as the clinical practice must evolve to adapt to the culture and subculture of the patient. This could have beneficial effects on the well-being of patients, therapeutic relations, access to treatment as well as psychiatric research, as well as limit controversies around this topic. It would be interesting to confirm this new conception of insight and the therapeutic relations by carrying out new studies as well as by starting to take it into account in patient care.
