A presente revisão de literatura procura explorar o conceito de Insight e os instrumentos
que o avaliam. Insight é tido como fundamental em psicoterapia psicanalítica enquanto um prérequisito
para a mudança, um processo necessário em terapia para a ocorrência de mudança ou
como um resultado da mudança. Após explorar sumariamente o conceito de Insight e explorar os
estudos que têm sido realizados para o estudar, é apresentado a descrição de 8 instrumentos
encontrados na literatura que estudam o Insight. Estes instrumentos podem ser agrupados em 3
grupos: 3 instrumentos procuram estudar o que ocorre durante uma sessão de psicoterapia (RQ;
RPPS, SIS); 3 instrumentos procuram estudar a mudança (CHAP; PFS; HSCS) e os 2 que
procuram estudar o Insight como processo (IRS; I). Concluímos que um dos principais
impedimentos nas investigações sobre Insight refere-se à inexistência de uma definição clara e
ampla para todas as investigações. Os instrumentos descritos apresentam definições de Insight
semelhantes no que se refere ao tópicos em que o conceito é avaliado, mas não a mesma
definição, podendo correr o risco de avaliarem diferentemente o conceito de Insight.
ABSTRACT------This literature review explores the concept of Insight and the instruments that assess it. Insight is considered fundamental in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, viewed as a prerequisite for change, a necessary process in therapy for the occurrence of change or as a result of the change. After briefly exploring the concept of Insight and exploring the studies that have been conducted for its study, a description of 8 instruments in the literature studying the Insight will be discussed. These instruments can be grouped into 3 categories: 3 instruments seek to study what happens during a psychotherapy session (RQ; RPPS, SIS); 3 instruments seek to study the change (CHAP; PFS; HSCS) and 2 seek to study the Insight as a process (IRS; I). We conclude that one of the main impediments in the investigation into Insight refers to the absence of a clear and comprehensive definition of the term for all investigations. The instruments describe Insight having similar definitions, in relation to the concept, but not the same definition, and risk evaluating the concept of Insight differently.
