Abstract Some addicts do not realize they need treatment suggests one of the challenges facing the field of addiction is the impairment of insight in the addicted population. Results from different researches indicate the importance of insight in both addiction and withdrawal processes. However, there are differences in the conceptualization of insight across studies. Moreover, self-report is the primary measure relied upon by studies. A dearth of behavioral measurement instruments exists. In response to the aforementioned issues. A conceptual framework of insight that includes behavioral, clinical, and cognitive insight is first clarified; furthermore, the use of difference scoring is proposed to optimize the causal loop contradictions that exist in self-report; ultimately, directions for the development of experimental paradigms for clinical and cognitive insight are provided.
