Link between childhood trauma and psychotic‐like experiences in non‐affected siblings of schizophrenia patients: A case‐control study

Abstract

The link between CT and psychosis seems to be complex, not only dependent on genetic vulnerability or early environmental factors shared by siblings of patients with psychotic disorders, but also several other confounding factors, including other psychopathological symptoms. Prevention strategies for individuals at genetic risk of psychosis should pay particular attention to CT as a potential predictor of sub-clinical depression and psychosis.
