The determinants of patients' adaptation to the illness will be analysed with focusing on patients' cognitive attitude towards their illness. Cognitive representation of chronic illness is associated with patients' processing and encoding of different information about their condition. The representation refers to the causes and underlying mechanisms of the disease, current health status, effects of the illness, views on treatment and prognosis. Patients' understanding of their condition may facilitate treatment, but it may also interfere with treatment by the development of maladaptive coping behaviours. Some organic and psychosocial factors can contribute to patients' limited insight into their situation. Patients' subjectiveexperience and problems encountered by clinicians during neuropsychological assessment and therapeutic work constitute two perspectives of the presentation.
