    Study Notes

    Psychological Trauma and Mental Disorder

    • Freud linked childhood sexual abuse to later mental disorders in the 1890s
    • Freud recognised childhood events have lasting impacts

    Childhood Psychological Trauma - Definition

    • Adverse childhood events include neglect, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
    • Different terms for this include childhood maltreatment, adverse childhood experiences, early life stress, and developmental trauma

    Childhood Psychological Trauma - Risk Factor

    • Associated with a 3x increased risk of psychosis (Varese, 2012)
    • Population attributable risk for psychosis is 30% (Kirkbride, 2010)
    • Reducing psychological trauma could reduce psychosis prevalence by 30%
    • Trauma is linked to many psychiatric and poor physical health outcomes (Daníelsdótti, 2024; Nelson, 2020)

    Childhood Psychological Trauma - Mechanism

    • Research suggests psychological and neurological processes are involved in trauma and psychosis (Bloomfield, 2021; Pollok, 2022; Yang, 2023)
    • Grey matter volume alterations are observed in those exposed to childhood trauma
    • Individuals with psychosis and a history of trauma show higher (Aas, 2019) or blunted cortisol responses (Bloomfield, 2019)
    • Strong and consistent association between trauma & psychosis (Meta-analysis (Varese, 2012))
    • Trauma exposure precedes psychosis onset (Kelleher, 2013)
    • Biological gradient: more severe trauma leads to more severe symptoms; poorer treatment response
    • Plausible biological mechanisms: alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, brain alterations in threat processing, emotion regulation in limbic regions, and dopamine transmission (Merritt, 2024; Egerton, 2016; Bloomfield, 2019)

    Future Work

    • Need deeper knowledge of vulnerability mechanisms (McCroy & Viding, 2015)
    • Importance of risk and resilient factors
    • Integrate bio-psycho-social model
    • Implement trauma-informed therapies

    What is Trauma?

    • The 3 E's: Event, Experience, Effects
    • Trauma is much broader than PTSD criteria
    • Any psychological or physical threat
    • Range of cognitive, emotional, behavioural, physiological, and interpersonal reactions
    • Recurring range of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physiological, and interpersonal effects
    • Can be a precursor to psychosis; can accompany psychosis; or result from psychosis

    Trauma Informed Care (TIC)

    • Organisational approach addressing trauma-related needs
    • Views trauma as "everybody's business"
    • Acknowledges commonality of trauma
    • Recognises trauma effects and routine enquiry
    • Asking about traumatic experiences
    • Access to trauma-specific support (e.g., EMDR)

    Recommendations for TIC in Psychosis

    • NICE Guidance for Schizophrenia (2014) to assess for PTSD in clients with psychosis
    • NICE Guidance for PTSD (2018) trauma-focused psychological treatment (CBT or EMDR)
    • Trauma-Focused CBT for Psychosis (tf-CBTp) - NICE guidelines followed with support based on individual needs

    Routine Enquiry about Trauma in the UK

    • CPA requires routine enquiry about trauma
    • Only 17% of service users had the abuse question asked in 53 trusts
    • This is not in line with best practice (Brooker et al., 2016)

    Talking Trauma in MDTs

    • Many have experienced trauma but few are assessed
    • Inpatients want routine enquiry
    • Assessing trauma in psychosis: trauma checklist

    Is Trauma-Focused Therapy Safe and Effective for Psychosis?

    • Meta-analysis of studies show some small, positive effects on delusions at follow-up but not on hallucinations and negative symptoms
    • Trauma memory techniques can have beneficial impacts on voices (Brand et al., 2018, 2020a, 2020b)
    • Imagery rescripting is helpful in some cases

    Future of TIC for Psychosis

    • Increasing international attention to TIC
    • Evaluation of optimal TIC approach needed
    • Trauma-focused therapy trials underway (e.g., STAR)
