“…The IES consists of two dimensions experienced in the past 7 days, a 7 item intrusion subscale (internal reliability α = 0.85) and an 8 item avoidance subscale (α = 0.85). Studies typically consider scores of 0-8 as 'sub-clinical', 9-25 'mild reaction to trauma', 26-43 'moderate', and 44+ 'severe' (e.g., Chisholm, Freeman & Cooke, 2006). Condon & Corkindale, 1998): This 19 item self-report questionnaire provides a measure of mother-infant attachment (α = 0.78).…”

Early infant interest in their mother's face is driven by an experience based face processing system, and is associated with maternal psychological health, even within a non clinical community sample. The present study examined the role of the voice in eliciting infants' interest in mother and stranger faces and in the association between infant face interest and maternal psychological health.Infants aged 3.5-months were shown photographs of their mother's and a stranger's face paired with an audio recording of their mother's and a stranger's voice that was either matched (e.g., mother's face and voice) or mismatched (e.g., mother's face and stranger's voice). Infants spent more time attending to the stranger's matched face and voice than the mother's matched face and voice and the mismatched faces and voices. Thus, infants demonstrated an earlier preference for a stranger's face when given voice information than when the face is presented alone. In the present sample, maternal psychological health varied with 56.7% of mothers reporting mild mood symptoms (depression, anxiety or stress response to childbirth). Infants of mothers with significant mild maternal mood symptoms looked longer at the faces and voices compared to infants of mothers who did not report mild maternal mood symptoms. In sum, infants' experience based face processing system is sensitive to their mothers' maternal psychological health and the multimodal nature of faces.

“…Three of the studies focused on forensic samples. In the first, PTSD symptoms were significantly associated with higher perceptions of power of the persecutor, inability to cope, thinking the persecution to be deserved, and lower ratings of control over the situation (Chisholm, Freeman, & Cooke, 2006). In the second, Calvert, Larkin, and Jellicoe-Jones (2008) showed that negative cognitions about the self correlated positively, moderately, and significantly with distress related to delusions and delusion-related preoccupation, and negative cognitions about the world correlated positively, moderately, and significantly with paranoia.…”

We examined the relationship between negative appraisal and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among adults diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI). It was hypothesized that negative appraisals of the self, the world, and self-blame would have a positive and significant association with traumatic stress symptoms in a clinical sample of community clients diagnosed with an Axis I primary diagnosis of either severe major mood disorder or schizophrenia-spectrum disorder when controlling for gender, total lifetime trauma, substance abuse, and severity of symptoms of psychosis and depression. Multiple regression was employed to conduct a secondary analysis of clinical data from 291 community support clients who were receiving services from three community mental health centers. Results supported the main hypotheses that all three types of negative appraisal with respect to self, world/others, and self-blame were positively and significantly associated with PTSD symptoms. The authors recommend improvements in screening and intervention with trauma/PTSD, and fuller appreciation of the variable role of negative appraisal when conducting trauma/PTSD assessments.

“…In addition, these positive psychotic symptoms may cause psychological distress in the patients themselves or their significant others. Chisholm, Freeman, and Cooke (2006) found a positive association between the experience of psychotic episodes and traumatic stress in a sample of remitted psychiatric patients. Pang et al (2002) reported that the presence of delusions and hallucinations in Alzheimer's patients was correlated with reports of higher levels of psychological stress among Chinese and European American caregivers.…”

Effects of cultural themes in psychotic symptoms on the diagnosis of schizophrenia in African Americans

Cultural themes focusing on race-related issues and religiosity were identified via content analysis in the delusions and hallucinations of a sample of 118 African American psychiatric patients. The purpose of the study was to determine whether cultural themes in psychotic symptoms influence the diagnosis from different sources (i.e., chart, SCID, and best estimate) of schizophrenia for Black patients. It was hypothesized that the best estimate diagnoses of cultural experts would diagnose schizophrenia in African Americans more frequently when they exhibit race-related themes in their psychotic symptoms. It was also hypothesized that diagnosis of the paranoid subtype would yield a stronger difference among the sources than the broader category of schizophrenia. The results did not support the hypotheses. Implications for understanding the relationship between culture and psychosis among African Americans are discussed.
