TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Childhood trauma and psychiatric symptoms JO - Psychological reports A1 - Ellason, J. W. A1 - Ross, C. A. SP - 447 EP - 450 VL - 80 IS - 2 N2 - 144 psychiatric inpatients who reported childhood physical or sexual trauma were administered the Symptom Check List-90-Revised, the Dissociative Experiences Scale, and the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule. There was a significant association of reported childhood abuse with psychotic and other symptoms. The findings support the hypothesis that experience of trauma may precede psychiatric symptoms, perhaps including positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
