“…The idea that trauma and stress are implicated in the emergence and persistence of psychotic symptoms and disorders is not new (e.g. Clark 1932; MacDougall 1939), and evidence from a number of recent studies has confirmed that childhood trauma and adversity are associated with a continuum of outcomes along the psychosis spectrum, from non-clinical psychotic experiences to diagnosable psychotic disorders (Arseneault 2011; Bentall 2012; Varese 2012; Dvir 2013; Fisher 2013; Kelleher 2013a; Matheson 2013; Sheffield 2013; Bentall 2014; Duhig 2015; Kraan 2015; Trotta 2015; Ajnakina 2016).…”

There has been a resurgence of interest in the role of childhood trauma in the aetiology of psychosis. In this review, recent findings on the association between childhood trauma and a continuum of psychotic symptoms are presented. Evidence of the association between specific childhood trauma subtypes and psychotic symptoms is examined, with a brief discussion of some current hypotheses about the potential mechanisms underlying the associations that have been found. Some practice implications of these findings are also highlighted. LEARNING OBJECTIVES• Identify findings from recent meta-analyses on the association between childhood trauma and a range of psychotic outcomes, from non-clinical psychotic experiences to psychotic disorders• Consider which childhood traumas are the most potent in the context of psychotic outcomes• Recognise that the relationships between childhood trauma, psychotic symptoms and other psycho pathology are complex, dynamic and multi dimensional
