RESUMO
Correlations of age, gender, and psychosocial variables with ratings of current homicidal ideation and intent were investigated among psychiatric facility clients with schizophrenia. Multiple regression analyses revealed, irrespective of age or gender, significantly positive correlations of three psychosocial variables--manic symptoms, psychotic symptoms, and impaired global functioning--with homicidal ideation and intent. Implications for research are discussed.

During the past decade there has been a resurgence of interest in investigating the relationship between insight and symptomatology among clients with schizophrenia. The breadth and depth of the articles have dramatically increased over the past 10 years, including the number of empirical research studies. This article summarizes the strengths and limitations of the empirical research focused on the association between insight and severity of psychotic symptoms and published between 1990 and 1999.
