Failure to find association between childhood abuse and cognition in first-episode psychosis patients
2012
AbstractThis study investigated the relationship between severe childhood abuse and cognitive functions in first-episode psychosis patients and geographically-matched controls. Reports of any abuse were associated with lower scores in the executive function domain in the control group. However, in contrast with our hypothesis, no relationships were found amongst cases.
Retrospective reports of childhood abuse and neglect among violent and property offenders
1997
Abstract Childhood abuse and neglect may increase the risk for later antisocial and criminal behavior, especially violent behavior. The objective of this study was retrospectively to compare childhood abuse and neglect experiences in the groups of Violent and Property offenders. The sample consisted of 34 recidivist inmates with the mean age of 26.9 years. The findings showed that physical, psychological, and sexual abuse and neglect was experienced by 82%, 97%, 3% and 94% of the offenders, respectively. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of abuse or neglect between the Violent and Property offenders. Neither were the groups differentiated by any combination of the abus…
The Specific Role of Childhood Abuse, Parental Bonding, and Family Functioning in Female Adolescents With Borderline Personality Disorder.
2015
This study examined a broad variety of adverse childhood experiences in a consecutive sample of female adolescent inpatients with borderline personality disorder (BPD; n = 44) compared with a clinical control (CC; n = 47) group with mixed psychiatric diagnoses. BPD was diagnosed using a structured clinical interview; different dimensions of childhood adversity were assessed using the Childhood Experiences of Care and Abuse Questionnaire, the Parental Bonding Instrument, and the Family Assessment Device. A history of childhood adversity was significantly more common in patients with BPD than in the CC group. Using a multivariate model, sexual abuse (OR = 13.8), general family functioning (OR…

Searching for the truth about schizophrenia requires the application of similarly high standards of proof to biological and social risk factors
2013
In their provocative paper, Bentall and Varese (2012) criticize our review on child abuse and schizophrenia (Sideli, Mule, La Barbera, & Murray, 2012) and suggest that we have a biological bias whi...
Vardarbības pieredzes un uztvertā sociālā atbalsta saistība ar pozitīvu un negatīvu simptomu izteiktību šizofrēnijas pacientu vidū
2019
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot saistības starp šizofrēnijas pozitīvajiem un negatīvajiem simptomiem, bērnībā piedzīvoto vardarbību un sociālo atbalstu, kā arī noteikt, cik lielā mērā vardarbība un sociālais atbalsts prognozē simptomu izteiktību. Izlasi veidoja 120 dalībnieki ar diagnozi šizofrēnija – 78 sievietes un 42 vīrieši vecumā no 21 līdz 79 gadiem (M=43,28; SD=12,93). Vardarbības pieredze tika mērīta ar Bērnības traumas aptauju (Bernstein et al., 1994), sociālais atbalsts ar Daudzdimensionālo uztvertā sociālā atbalsta skalu (Zimet et al., 1988), šizofrēnijas simptomu izteiktība ar Pozitīvo un Negatīvo simptomu aptauju (Iancu, 2005). Pētījuma rezultāti parāda, ka izteiktāka vardarbīb…
Childhood Neglect: Exploring a Short Questionnaire in Poland and Germany
2013
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Estimates about childhood abuse and neglect in various countries of the world indicate that cases of neglect outnumber cases of abuse by far. However, childhood neglect itself constitutes a neglected domain in psychological and medical research; far more articles have been published about abuse. <b><i>Sampling and Methods:</i></b> A ten-item questionnaire assessing childhood neglect was administered to two surveys in Poland (n = 508) and Germany (n = 500) via the internet. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Internal consistency was high in both countries, i.e. Cronbach's α was 0.82 in Poland and 0.88 in Ge…
Childhood Maltreatment, Educational Attainment, and IQ: Findings From a Multicentric Case-control Study of First-episode Psychosis (EU-GEI).
2022
[Background and hypothesis] Evidence suggests that childhood maltreatment (ie, childhood abuse and childhood neglect) affects educational attainment and cognition. However, the association between childhood maltreatment and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) seems stronger among controls compared to people with psychosis. We hypothesised that: the association between childhood maltreatment and poor cognition would be stronger among community controls than among people with first-episode of psychosis (FEP); compared to abuse, neglect would show stronger associations with educational attainment and cognition; the association between childhood maltreatment and IQ would be partially accounted for by ot…
Childhood maltreatment and clinical severity of treatment‐resistant depression in a French cohort of outpatients (FACE‐DR): One‐year follow‐up
2020
International audience; Childhood maltreatment is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). It not only increases the risk of lifetime MDD, but it also aggravates its course. Among depressed patients, 20-30% of them experience treatment-resistance depression (TRD). We aimed to assess the association between childhood maltreatment, severity of depression in a unipolar TRD sample, and patient outcomes after one-year of follow-up. Methods: Patients were recruited for a prospective cohort from the French network of TRD expert centers. Depressive symptom severity was assessed with the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology se…
