TL;DR: The study extends prior knowledge by proposing a transitional link whereby social withdrawal resulting from IPV may propagate feelings of loneliness, ultimately precipitating the onset of subsequent psychosis symptoms.

TL;DR: There is little evidence that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is more likely to follow traumatic events defined by Criterion A than non-Criterion A stressors, but the ICD-11 approach of providing clinical guidance rather than a formal definition offers a viable solution to some of the problems associated with the current and previous attempts to define traumatic exposure.

TL;DR: The current findings support the discriminant validity of CPTSD and BPD symptoms and highlight various phenomenological signatures of each construct as well as demonstrate how these constructs share important similarities in symptom composition and exogenous correlates.

TL;DR: In this article, adult survivors of institutional abuse were interviewed with a comprehensive assessment protocol which included the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Institutional Child Abuse questionnaire, Processes and Coping Inventory, Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM IV axis I disorders, Trauma Symptoms Inventory, a Life Problems checklist, Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory and the Kansas Marital Profile.

TL;DR: These findings reflect female-specific variation in both victimisation history and psychosis-related vulnerability, and may advance the understanding of the complex associations that continue to emerge between trauma and psychosis for both males and females.
