Prevalence of self-reported childhood abuse in psychosis: A meta-analysis of retrospective studies

Childhood trauma and functional disability in psychosis, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder: a review of the literature

“…Discussion of childhood trauma is often neglected or even actively avoided by clinicians (Read et al 2001); yet this review indicates that this should be an important consideration to identify individuals at increased risk of poor functional outcome. Despite evidence that childhood trauma may be more common among women in these patient groups Bonoldi et al 2013;Etain et al 2013), men still report high rates of exposure to adverse childhood experiences and screening should be considered a priority for both sexes. The use of standardized instruments may help to guide clinicians through the assessment of patients' adverse childhood experiences, and may also help to overcome constraints from both the therapists' and patients' side.…”

Childhood abuse and neglect may induce deficits in cognitive precursors of psychosis in high-risk children

“…Exposure to abuse and neglect in childhood increases the risk of later occurrence of schizophrenia [1][2][3][4] and bipolar disorder (BD). [5][6][7] Child abuse may antedate psychotic experience in youths, 3 and at least 40% of patients with psychosis retrospectively report personal exposure to abuse or neglect in childhood.…”

“…[5][6][7] Child abuse may antedate psychotic experience in youths, 3 and at least 40% of patients with psychosis retrospectively report personal exposure to abuse or neglect in childhood. 2,5,8 Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. 1,2,9 Cognitive dysfunctions are central to schizophrenia and BD, [10][11][12][13] and recent data suggest that the cognitive decline begins in childhood.…”

“…2,5,8 Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. 1,2,9 Cognitive dysfunctions are central to schizophrenia and BD, [10][11][12][13] and recent data suggest that the cognitive decline begins in childhood. 14,15 The cognitive impairments that are typically shared by patients with schizophrenia and BD 12,16,17 have a genetic basis, 18,19 which does not preclude environmental influences from further impacting the developmental trajectory.…”

“…Un metaanálisis, con una muestra total de 2017 personas diagnosticadas de psicosis o esquizofrenia, encontró que el 26% relataba abuso sexual infantil, el 39% maltrato infantil y el 34% abuso emocional infantil (Bonoldi et al, 2013). En otro estudio se observó que las personas con el mismo diagnóstico tienen 2,72 veces más probabilidades de haber sufrido adversidad infantil.…”
