The weakest point in the modern models of eclipsing binary systems (EBS) is the treatment given to the effects of mutual irradiation. In this review, which does not have a similar one in the literature, an attempt is made to collect all the work done on the irradiation problem until the middle of 1984, in order to make possible an evaluation of the present status of this problem. Special emphasis is given to the applicability of the results to the analysis of EBS. The treatment given to the effect by the early studies, as well as by practically all the modern models of EBS, is described, and special attention is given to works analysing the problem using stellar model atmospheres. It turns out that the effect is more complex than suspected earlier, but that significant progress has been made recently.
