Traduction et validation française de l'échelle d'évaluation de la conscience des troubles mentaux des patients schizophrènes : The Scale to assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SUMD)

The SUMD has proven to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess insight into schizophrenia. The more psychometrically sound rating tools we have at our disposal, many of which have been published in non French journals, the more we will be able to sharpen our assessment of insight into schizophrenia. We are facing an epistemic paradox in which quantification helps description, i.e. we need to have access to different rating tools to measure insight in order to improve our knowledge of the causes, course and treatment of poor insight into mental disorders.
