✦ Synopsis

Forty elderly patients with late paraphrenia completed a standardized assessment of insight into psychosis along with a detailed cognitive and psychometric evaluation. Overall, the group had poorer insight than a comparable group of early onset schizophrenic patients. Insight was correlated with positive symptoms but appeared unrelated to negative symptoms, performance on neuropsychological tests including those of executive function, plus illness course and duration.
