Scientific Study from the year 2010 in the subject Psychology - Clinic and Health Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, grade: keine, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: Summary. Background: This article provides an overview of studies in which assessments of specific functional capacity, made by experts on the one hand (objective) and by patients on the other (subjective) were compared in various patient groups. In essence, these data reveal marginal or insignificant associations. Methods: Based on these considerations, a theoretical differential-diagnosis model of objective findings/subjective state of health is presented.

In case of discrepancies between these two levels, for instance when patients' subjective assessment was good although their condition was obviously poor, they are considered to be in a so-called "disease paradox". Alternatively, patients whose subjective assessment of their condition was poor although the objective findings were positive, were considered to be in a so-called "health dilemma".
