TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that intersubjectivity that aims at fusion with the other is too narrow to account for the constitution of subjectivity, and that dialogicality, that is, the capacity of the human mind to conceive, create and communicate about social realities in terms of the Alter, must complement inter-subjectivity in co...
Abstract: The polysemic nature of intersubjectivity stems not only from diverse pursuits and goals but also from different ontologies of intersubjectivity. More specifically, the four matrices described by Coelho and Figueiredo (2003) imply two ontologies: `I-Other(s)' and `I' versus `Other(s)'. These ontologies lead to different concepts of communication. In the former case, communication is based on the idea of attunement and fusion of the minds. In the latter case, communication seems to be either determined a priori as a moral principle or managed monologically. Despite essential differences between the two ontologies, they both aim at the reduction of diverse positions of the self and other(s). It is argued that intersubjectivity that aims at fusion with the other is too narrow to account for the constitution of subjectivity. Instead, dialogicality, that is, the capacity of the human mind to conceive, create and communicate about social realities in terms of the `Alter`, must complement intersubjectivity in co...

TL;DR: The re-standardization of a revised self-administered insight scale in patients with psychosis, first published in 1992, is reported, which is meant to capture views held by individuals suffering from psychosis about changes occurring within themselves and in their environment.
Abstract: Over the last decade, a number of tools have been developed to evaluate, in a systematic way, patients' insight into their psychotic illness. Such tools, however, capture different clinical phenomena of insight. So far, there is no indication as to which phenomenon of insight might be the most useful or predictive (e.g. clinically or therapeutically) to assess. This article reports the re-standardization of a revised self-administered insight scale in patients with psychosis, first published in 1992. It is meant to capture views held by individuals suffering from psychosis about changes occurring within themselves and in their environment. The scale was administered to 64 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia but with a range of symptoms and in different stages of their illnesses. This new version is simpler to use and score than the original instrument and shows good reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity. This study forms the preliminary basis for future work examining the phenomenon of insight, its relationship to clinical variables and its predictive validity in terms of patients' behaviours and prognoses.
