TLDR
In this article, the lifetime prevalence of traumatic events and current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 275 patients with severe mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) receiving public mental health services in Concord and Manchester, New Hampshire, and Baltimore, Maryland.Abstract:
This research assessed the lifetime prevalence of traumatic events and current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 275 patients with severe mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) receiving public mental health services in Concord and Manchester, New Hampshire, and Baltimore, Maryland. Lifetime exposure to traumatic events was high, with 98% of the sample reporting exposure to at least 1 traumatic event. The rate of PTSD in our sample was 43%, but only 3 of 119 patients with PTSD (2%) had this diagnosis in their charts. PTSD was predicted most strongly by the number of different types of trauma, followed by childhood sexual abuse. The findings suggest that PTSD is a common comorbid disorder in severe mental illness that is frequently overlooked in mental health settings. Language: enread more

A cognitive model of the positive symptoms of psychosis.
TL;DR: The cognitive processes that are thought to lead to the formation and maintenance of the positive symptoms of psychosis are set out and a fuller integration with the findings of biological research will be required.

Disorders of extreme stress: The empirical foundation of a complex adaptation to trauma.
TL;DR: Children and adults exposed to chronic interpersonal trauma consistently demonstrate psychological disturbances that are not captured in the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis, and these data invite further exploration of what constitutes effective treatment of the full spectrum of posttraumatic psychopathology.

TL;DR: The evidence at present is most abundant for an association with obsessive-compulsive disorder among the anxiety disorders, and additional studies in newly diagnosed antipsychotic-naive patients and their first-degree relatives are needed.

Posttraumatic stress disorder in the National Comorbidity Survey.
TL;DR: Progress in estimating age-at-onset distributions, cohort effects, and the conditional probabilities of PTSD from different types of trauma will require future epidemiologic studies to assess PTSD for all lifetime traumas rather than for only a small number of retrospectively reported "most serious" traumAs.
