“…The finding that abuse, neglect, and bullying were associated with positive symptoms is consistent with recent meta-analyses [9,51], and, importantly, provides evidence that these relations hold for symptoms experienced in the realm of daily life. The only adversity subtype that was associated with having no thoughts or emotions was self-reported neglect.…”

“…This is in contrast to those that are the victims of bullying. Victims are at increased risk for developing a range of mental health problems [13] including depression and anxiety [14,15], psychotic experiences [16,17] and an increased risk of self-harm and attempting or completing suicide [18,19]. They are also more often alone [20] and rejected at school [21].…”

It has been suggested that those who both bully and are victims of bullying (bully/victims) are at the highest risk for adverse mental health outcomes. However, unknown is whether most bully/victims were bullies or victims first and whether being a bully/victim is more detrimental to mental health than being a victim. 4101 children were prospectively studied from birth and structured interviews and questionnaires were used to assess bullying involvement at 10 years (elementary school) and 13 years of age (secondary school). Mental health (anxiety, depression, psychotic experiences) was assessed at 18 years. Most bully/victims at age 13 (n = 233) had already been victims at primary school (pure victims: n = 97, 41.6% or bully/victims: n = 47; 20.2%). Very few of the bully/victims at 13 years had been pure bullies previously (n = 7, 3%). After adjusting for a wide range of confounders, both bully/victims and pure victims, whether stable or not from primary to secondary school, were at increased risk of mental health problems at 18 years of age. In conclusion, children who are bully/victims at secondary school were most likely to have been already bully/victims or victims at primary school. Children who are involved in bullying behaviour as either bully/victims or victims at either primary or secondary school are at increased risk for mental health problems in late adolescence regardless of the stability of victimisation.Clinicians should consider any victimisation as a risk factor for mental health problems.

“…Lifetime sexual abuse had excellent convergent validity, with emotional abuse, physical abuse and adverse treatment experiences also reaching acceptable levels of convergence. In this sense, the TALE appears robust in identifying those traumas most associated with PTSD and psychosis (van Dam et al, 2012; Varese et al, 2012). Nonetheless, kappa values were generally low.…”

“…Lifetime trauma screening measures often focus on events involving physical threats, as specified in the event criterion (‘ exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation ’) in DSM-V for PTSD (American Psychiatry Association [APA], 2013). The exclusion of other types of threatening events has been questioned, given that psychologically traumatizing events, such as emotional abuse, neglect and discrimination, are associated with post-traumatic stress reactions and psychosis (Brewin, 2015; Brewin, Lanius, Novac, Schnyder, & Galea, 2009; Kelleher et al, 2013; van Dam et al, 2012). Childhood trauma screening measures, such as the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-SF; Bernstein et al, 2003) and the Childhood Abuse and Trauma Scale (CAT; Sanders & Becker-Lausen, 1995), include psychologically threatening events but tend to focus predominantly on familial trauma and do not routinely assess for the current significance of these events.…”

Background: Best practice guidelines recommend traumatic events should be assessed in psychosis to support the identification and, when indicated, treatment of post-traumatic stress reactions. However, routine assessment in frontline services is rare, and available tools are not tailored to psychosis. Assessment obstacles include lengthy measures, a focus on single, physically threatening events, and the exclusion of psychosis-related traumas. Objective: To develop and validate a brief trauma screening tool for the identification of clinically significant traumas in people with psychosis. Method: The Trauma and Life Events (TALE) checklist was developed in conjunction with people with lived experience of trauma and psychosis, and specialist clinicians and researchers. The psychometric properties (i.e. test-retest reliability, content validity, construct validity) of the TALE were evaluated in a sample of 39 people with psychosis diagnoses. Results: The TALE displayed moderate psychometric acceptability overall, with excellent reliability and convergent validity for sexual abuse. High rates of psychosis-related trauma and childhood adversity were reported, in particular bullying and emotional neglect. A dose–response relationship between cumulative trauma, post-traumatic stress and psychosis was found. Conclusions: The TALE is the first screening tool specifically designed to meet the needs of routine trauma screening in psychosis services. The psychometric limitations highlight the challenge of developing a measure that is both sufficiently brief to be useful in clinical settings and comprehensive enough to identify all relevant adverse events. Validation of the TALE is now required across the spectrum of psychosis.
