Core Tip

Core Tip: Many researchers have suggested that an acceptable definition might be achieved by analysis screened for comorbid symptoms of “childhood traumatic experiences” and “dissociation”. Dissociation, childhood traumatic experiences, and positive psychotic symptoms may be a prominent part of dissociative psychosis and schizophrenia. The intense presence of negative symptoms may indicate classical schizophrenia.
