▼ There is now consistent evidence linking environmental factors to the development of Psychotic disorder. One of the most well received hypotheses put forward to explain these associations is the Social Defeat Hypothesis, which postulates the key mechanism underlying these factors be a chronic experience of social defeat. A wide body of evidence has gathered in support of this hypothesis. The majority of this research, has however, tended to focus on associations between social defeat experiences and psychosis. Other facets of social defeat, such as related cognitive and affective mechanisms, have received little attention. The current thesis aimed to explore two such mechanisms, namely perceptions of social defeat (negative social comparisons) and sensitivity to social defeat, within a Chinese population, and their relations to psychosis proneness. It intended to do this in two ways: Firstly through developing psychometrically valid measures of these mechanisms for use within a Chinese population, and secondly through employing one of these measures to explore the relationship between perceptions of social defeat and psychosis proneness. Study 1 examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese Social Comparison scale (SCS-C) and its associations with measures of psychopathology. A two-factor structure, including 10 of the original 11 items was identified. Measures of social comparison were found to be significantly negatively correlated with all measures of the Symptom Check List-90, suggesting that associations between negative social comparisons and psychopathology in ethnically Chinese participants are similar to those found in western populations. Hence, the Chinese version of the SCS (SCS-C) can be recommended for use within Chinese speaking populations. Study 2 employed the Chinese Social Comparison Scale (validated in Study 1), to examine the relationship between negative social comparisons and psychosis proneness, including moderators and familial associations. As expected, all measures of social comparison were found to predict both the negative and depressive dimensions of psychosis. Unexpectedly no measures of social comparison predicted the positive psychotic experiences. Use of more problem-focused coping styles, including seeking social support and active coping, was found to moderate the effects of negative social comparisons on psychosis proneness. Finally, the results of cross-twin, cross-trait analyses suggested a familial association between belonging and the negative dimension of psychosis. Together these findings highlight the potential importance of negative social comparisons as a risk factor for psychotic disorder, specifically the negative and depressive dimensions. Study 3 developed and validated a Chinese translation of a novel experimental task (Digi-Spee) designed to induce a minor social defeat experience through mimicking an online social networking interaction. The Chinese version of the Digi-Spee was found to be effective in inducing changes in affect and was able to differentiate…

▼ Traditionally, psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions were linked invariably to psychopathology. However, there is increasing evidence that psychosis may be a continuous phenotype with subclinical manifestations. This paradigm shift has fueled research interest in “psychosis proneness”, the extent to which an individual experiences psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) that are insufficient to warrant a diagnosis. Since psychosis proneness is conceptualized as a subclinical manifestation of clinical psychosis with shared etiology, studying cognitive correlates of psychosis proneness may shed light on psychological risk mechanisms of psychosis while circumventing confounding variables of illness experience in clinical samples. This thesis focuses on the mechanism of aberrant “affective salience attribution”, the tendency to assign emotional (positive or negative) meaning to neutral sensory information. To study the relationship between affective salience attribution and psychosis proneness, a psychosis proneness scale was first validated, and then correlated with an experimental task tapping affective salience attribution. Study 1 pertained to the psychometric robustness of a widely-used 42-item psychosis proneness self-report tool, “Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences” (CAPE). To study CAPE’s score reliability, 18 studies that reported original internal reliability coefficients (Cronbach’s alpha) were aggregated in a reliability generalization meta-analysis. Results suggested that CAPE scores were typically reliable (α > .70). Furthermore, to confirm the nature of factors tapped by CAPE, 17 factor-analytic studies were reviewed and subjected to a meta-analysis of factor analyses. Results supported CAPE’s three-factor model with subscales tapping positive, negative and depressive symptoms. Study 2 concerned the validation of a Chinese translation of CAPE (CAPE-C). Factor analyses of CAPE-C scores from 660 youths suggested that a 15-item structure (CAPE-C15) captured the psychosis proneness phenotype in young Chinese better than the original structure (Study 2a). Convergent-divergent validity of CAPE-C15 subscale scores was demonstrated by significant associations with relevant measures and non-significant associations with irrelevant ones (Study 2b). Validating CAPE-C15 rendered it possible to study cognitive correlates of psychosis proneness in Chinese youth, supplementing the predominantly Western literature. One putative cognitive risk mechanism of psychosis is aberrant affective salience attribution. Previous research has suggested that the tendency to extract affective speech from white noise (“affective speech illusion”) is significantly higher in psychotic patients and their siblings than in controls. However, no studies have examined the relationship between affective speech illusion and psychosis proneness in a general population. Study 3 addressed this void. Results showed that “negative speech illusion” was associated with higher CAPE-C15 positive symptom scores, but positive and…

Objectives: Stigma is believed to be one of the major barriers for the recovery process of persons with psychosis. Stigma-reducing program is believed to be able to enhance public knowledge and to improve treatment outcome as well as to alleviate discrimination and stigma. The current study therefore aimed at examining the level of public stigma of psychosis and its relationship with public attitudes towards patients with psychosis. The relationship of public’s stigma level, previous contact of persons with psychosis and the social distance scores on vignette will be studied. Method: Seventy-seven subjects were recruited from public health talks on psychosis organized by the Jockey Club Early Psychosis Project (JECP).Public stigma towards psychosis would be tested by two scales: the validated tool The Public Stigma Scale (Chan et al., 2009; Mak et al., 2012) and The Social Distance Scales (Chung, Chen & Liu2001). Other assessments included subjects’ previous contact with patients of psychosis and their history of working in the medical field. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 43.51 years (SD= 13.295); 23(32.5%) were male and 52 were female. In all, 15 (19.5%) had the history of working in medical field and 62(80.5%) worked in non-medical field; 49(63.6%) had pervious contact with the patients with psychosis while 28 (36.4%) did not have such experience. In our study, no correlation was found between overall stigma and number of contacts. Also, no correlation was found between overall stigma with gender and occupation. And we found that The Public Stigma and social distance were correlated. Subjects who had lower scores in the public stigma scale were related with less rejecting attitudes towards patient with psychosis. Conclusion: In this study, we found that pervious contact did not have significant correlation with the stigma and attitude. Gender and history of working in medical field difference also did not have significant correction with stigma and attitudes. Further studies are recommended to explore more effective strategies in stigma-reducing programme.

▼ Motivations Ideas and delusions of reference (I/DOR) are common psychotic symptoms and can be defined as self-referential experiences in excess of the amount of evidence available in the immediate environment. A putative neurocognitive mechanism is increased automatic attention capture by self-referential (SR) information. This study was carried out to test the hypotheses that 1) compared with patients with no I/DOR, those who have the symptom have increased attentional shift to SR information and 2) there is a positive correlation between the severity of I/DOR and the extent of attentional shift to SR information. Clinical and cognitive correlates of I/DOR were also explored. Methods Patients with I/DOR (n=20, mean age 25.2±7.9 years, 4 men) and without I/DOR (n=17, mean age 28.6±8.2 years, 10 men) matched for age and education were assessed for positive symptoms, negative symptoms, mood symptoms and basic neurocognition. I/DOR were phenomenologically assessed using the Ideas of Reference Interview Scale (IRIS). In an interference task, patients were instructed to respond to computerized Stroop tasks while ignoring a voice clip presented binaurally with the subject’s own name (SON) embedded in certain trials. Within-subject differences in reaction time and accuracy between Stroop trials with and without SON were used as parameters to measure the degree of attentional shift to SR information. Between-group and within-subject differences in the reaction time and accuracy in the interference task were analysed using 2×2 mixed-ANOVA. Bivariate correlation was used to explore the relationship between IRIS scores and performance in the interference task. Stepwise linear regression analysis was used to explore the correlates of I/DOR. Results There was statistically significant interaction between conditions with and without SON and patient groups on the reaction time of the interference task (p=0.048). Simple main effects showed the mean difference of reaction time between conditions with and without SON was statistically significant in patients with I/DOR (p=0.001) but not in patients without I/DOR (p=0.862). Parameters used in the interference task correlated highly with IRIS global score and subscores on pervasiveness, self-referential discrepancy, conviction and frequency (r=0.328-0.517, range; p<0.05), unaltered by other clinical and cognitive variables except depressive symptoms and social anxiety. Regression analysis showed that I/DOR were related to depressive symptoms, social anxiety and attentional shift to SON. Discussion The significant interaction and simple main effect suggest that I/DOR are associated with a heightened attentional shift to SR information. The robust correlations between IRIS scores and attentional shift to SON provide some evidence to support the continuum hypothesis of I/DOR. The possible roles of emotions in the pathogenesis of I/DOR are discussed. Significance With the use of well-matched patient samples and an ecologically valid paradigm based on known human…

▼ Motivations The growing interest in the investigation of longitudinal course and outcome of psychotic disorders grew from the Kraepelinian view of schizophrenia, which was considered a disease with progressive downhill course. With emerging evidence-based findings suggesting outcome heterogeneity, prospective studies have strived to identify factors influencing the course and outcome. The paucity of prospective long-term studies has prevented us from knowing the enduring impacts of predictors. Using a prospective cohort of 153 psychosis patients, the study aimed to determine the outcome of global functioning, remission, functional recovery, and recovery at 13 years following the first-episode psychosis. Prognostic values of a range of baseline and early outcome predictors were examined. Specific research interests included the explorations of the enduring impact of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), the longitudinal relationship between neurocognition and functional outcome, and the added predictive ability of early outcome predictors. Methods This study attempted to follow up the 153 patients at 13 years following their first episode onset of psychosis. Prior investigations collected a comprehensive profile of demographics, premorbid adjustment, clinical symptoms, and neurcognition at baseline. Early outcomes at 3 years including remission, relapse, primary negative symptoms, and unemployment were also ascertained. In this current investigation, living subjects were invited to an interview in order to assess their outcomes of global functioning, remission, functional recovery, and recovery at 13 years. Appropriate regression models were applied to identify predictors of long-term outcomes. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for all-cause mortality and suicide were also determined. Results Ninety-six patients were successfully interviewed. Their mean (s.d.) score of global functioning was 64.3 (16.5). Considerable proportions of patients fulfilled criteria for remission (47%), functional recovery (33%), and recovery (16%) at 13 years. Higher level of global functioning was predicted by a married status at study entry and being in remission and employed at 3 years. Remission was predicted by a shorter DUP and better premorbid social adjustment. Functional recovery was predicted by better premorbid social adjustment, better baseline visual memory, and being employed at 3 years. No baseline and early outcome predictors of recovery could be identified. Addition of early outcome predictors significantly increased the variance explained for global functioning and improved model discrimination between patients who had functional recovery and those who had not. SMRs for all-cause mortality and suicide were 6.07 and 24.80, respectively. Discussion A prolonged DUP may intensify the progression of negative symptoms and lead to less likelihood of remission. The study has confirmed the enduring adverse impact of DUP but its reversibility is still in doubt. As the significance of visual memory in… Advisors/Committee Members: Chen, EYH, Sham, PC.

Empirical studies had demonstrated inconsistencies between duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and outcome measures including negative symptoms severity and functional outcome. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how either the construct of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) or duration of untreated illness (DUI) acted on associating and predicting negative symptoms, its sub-domains and functional outcome among psychotic population in Hong Kong. Totally three hundred and forty five subjects were recruited from in-patient and out-patient setting in hospitals under hospital authority. DUP and DUI were assessed by semi-interviewed with subjects, their family members and other significant others. And the Scale of Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) and Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS) were adopted as assessment tools to measure negative symptoms severity and functioning of individual respectively. Regression models were used to analyse how DUI and DUP differed in associating and predicting different variables. Results showed that DUI took a more significant role in associating and predicting negative symptoms and functional outcome in which it demonstrated stronger positive correlation with negative symptoms and stronger negative correlation with functional outcome. DUI was also found to act as a potential predictor for both negative symptom severity and functional outcome. At the same time, among all sub-domains, anhedonia showed mild positive correlation with both DUI and DUP while other four didn’t show similar association. The results provided increased insight that DUI might play a more significant role in determining the development of negative symptoms and functional outcome than DUP. Yet, limitations on various aspects had been addressed in this study such as the high level of heterogeneity of our sample and potential confounders which partially correlated with the outcome parameter. Also, no causal relationship had been yield between DUI / DUP and outcome variables. Further investigation was suggested on dividing the sample into sub-group to draw information regarding the characteristics of associations. Meanwhile, better control on potential confounding variables might help generating clearer picture on how independent variables associated with each other.

▼ Aims: Psychosis is associated with serious stigma, impacting a person's psychosocial functioning. Religious group membership may provide social support for patients recovering from psychosis, while there may also be additional clinically beneficial effects of religiosity. We test the primary hypothesis that patients with religious group membership have better social support and functioning, compared with patients who are not attached to any religious group, with or without other group activities. The qualities that may contribute to clinical and social improvements in patients with religion are explored. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional design with semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. A total of 63 participants were recruited from out-patient clinics: (1) 12 patients with religious group background (Catholic or Protestant); (2) 16 patients with no religious background participating in other community groups; (3) 15 patients with no religious background and other community activities; and (4) 20 healthy controls without religious background for comparison of social support and social functioning. Results: ANOVA analyses show that religious group was significantly better than community-activity group, followed by non-religious group in interpersonal functioning and social support. Healthy controls, though, had advantages in social functioning over the community-activity and non-religious groups, they were not significantly better than the religious group in interpersonal functioning, perceived social functioning or social support. This study discovers that the internal qualities, namely private practice, intrinsic experience, and subjective importance of religion, predict the clinical outcomes and social functioning, instead of the collective features of religion. Discussion: The findings confirm that the religious group had better social functioning and social support than the community-activity group, suggesting that apart from the emphasis on community activities, religion is also valuable in building up social functioning and support. Among different areas of religion, frequency of private practice, intrinsic experience and subjective importance significantly correlated with clinical outcome, medication compliance, social functioning, social support, perceived stigma and experienced stigma. It may imply that the internal qualities have a greater impact on functioning and outcomes than the communal activities. The semi-structured interviews revealed that patients obtained positive aspects of religion, namely, comfort, support, sense of control, and meanings of illness. Ways of dealing with mental illness through religion were mentioned in the interviews. Significance: The study shows that religion and religiosity also play an important role in social functioning and mental health even more so than community activities. The ways of living with symptoms may also be helpful to patients with psychotic symptoms. The spiritual interventions in treatment of psychosis could be considered in case…

Background Many researches have studied stigma among people with mental illness, mainly focusing on its relationship with insight, psychological well-being and clinical outcomes. Psychotic disorder is described as a condition that influences one’s affect, thoughts and behaviors, with psychiatric symptoms including disorganized speech and bizarre behaviors, which frighten the general population. Common scales used in literatures to study stigma target the general population’s attitude towards mental illness instead of self-stigma, the internalized stereotypes of people suffering from psychotic disorders. Insight is likely to be different at different stages of schizophrenic spectrum disorder, but current evidence was mostly done in chronic schizophrenia patients. Aim This study explored the correlational association between self-stigma, insight and social functioning among people with first episode psychotic disorder and if self-stigma and insight were predictors of social functioning. Method Self-stigma, insight and social functioning were assessed among using structured interviews and questionnaires. Thirty-three out patients from the Early Intervention Team at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong diagnosed with schizophrenic spectrum disorder participated in the study. The internalized stigma of mental illness scale was used to assess self-stigma; the unawareness of mental disorder scale was used to assess level of insight; and the social and occupational functioning assessment scale was used to assess level of social functioning. Results The linear regression analysis showed that self-stigma and insight were not significant predictors of social functioning (r = 0.67, β= -0.289, p < 0.05; adjusted R² = 0.39). However the regression analysis showed the subscale stereotype endorsement was a significant predictor of social functioning (r = 0.690, β= -0.333, p < 0.05; adjusted R² = 0.420) and accounted for 47.6% of the variance in social functioning levels. Moreover, the bivariate correlational analysis showed significant negative correlational relationships between self-stigma and social functioning, and insight and social functioning. There was no correlational relationship between self-stigma and level of insight. Conclusion Results showed that self-stigma and insight play different roles towards social and role functioning. Although analysis did not show a significant outcome indicating self-stigma and insight being the predictors of functioning, data showed that the values were close to being significant.

▼ Medication adherence is a well-known barrier in hindering successful pharmacological treatment, particularly in early psychosis patients. The aims of promotion and implementation of early intervention service not only change patient’s trajectory of long-term outcome positively but also broaden a therapeutic window by detecting patient’s medication non-adherence attitudes and behaviors in the very early stage of illness. Needless to say, the rate of non-adherent to medication in early psychosis is high due to a variety of potential risk factors. The consequences of medication non-adherence are devastating. In adherence research, the researchers devote their life to investigate in this aspect. As suggested by previous studies, a basket of consistent and inconsistent as well as strong or weak predictors are relevant to medication adherence. However, they tend to examine the medication adherence attitudes and behaviors together. Since someone behavior is not the same as his/her attitude toward medication adherence, the current study thus explores them separately. Given very scanty studies addressing the issue, this study focuses on asking whether different sets of baselines predictors contribute to medication adherence attitudes and behaviors differently are true. Within a six-month period of follow-up, 340 first episode psychosis patients have been included in the sample. We assessed various patient-related, medication-related, and environmental-related constructs (age, gender, martial status, education level, occupation, living condition, family history of mental illness, mode of onset, premorbid functioning, DUP, hospitalization, symptoms severity, level of insight, type of medication, medication side effects, and therapeutic alliance) at baseline as well as measured their medication adherence attitude and behaviors at six-month follow-up period. The result of the study are in accord with our hypothesis that different groups of risk factors contribute to medication adherence attitude and behaviors differently in the first six months of treatment of early psychosis patients. After putting the same set of variables into analyses on medication adherence attitudes and behaviors separately, findings reveal that DUP, insight, side effect on psychic aspect, and patients’ rating on communication effectiveness with clinicians are the significant predictors for medication adherence attitudes while gender, experienced hospitalization, and psychopathology severity are the influential indicators in predicting medication adherence behaviors. Our data indeed fills in the adherence research gap to address what predictors affect medication adherence attitude and behavior differently. The implication is that if we just put medication adherence attitude and behavior together into the discussion, it would oversimplify the medication adherence phenomenon. Our study serves as a cornerstone to obtain a better understanding in the dynamic process of medication treatment decision-making in terms of patients’ medication adherence…

Humor recognition and appreciation are important aspects to enhance psychological well-being and enrich social relationships and interactions. The present study hypothesized that first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients with adult onset in the Chinese society have deficits in humor recognition and appreciation compared with healthy controls. It also predicted FEP patients with a diminished ability in recalling humorous stimuli. Moreover, this study sought to explore the potential associations of humor recognition and appreciation deficits with measures of clinical symptoms, psychosocial and neurocognitive functioning, and self-perception towards hope and recovery among FEP patients. Thirty FEP patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, brief psychotic disorder or delusional disorder were compared with 30 healthy controls matched for gender, age and education years on a humor task comprising six comedy video clips. Humor recognition was measured by the detection of total ‘standard humorous moments’ in the comedy clips. Humor appreciation was measured by self-report Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) funniness ratings. Percentage of recalled ‘standard humorous moments’ was also measured. Changes in positive and negative mood states were measured using Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Patients were assessed for clinical symptoms, psychosocial functioning, self-perception towards recovery and hope, and a battery of neuropsychological tests measuring executive function, working memory, intelligence quotient, semantic and visuospatial memory, and selective attention. FEP patients had a lower number in detection of total ‘standard humorous moments’, in total VAS funniness rating, and in percentage of recalled ‘standard humorous moments’ compared with healthy controls. Patients and healthy controls did not differ in positive and negative mood changes induced by the comedy clips. In patients, humor recognition had significant negative correlation with negative symptoms and significant positive correlation with self-perception towards hope. Recall of ‘standard humorous moments’ had significant negative correlation with negative symptoms and significant positive correlation with immediate and delayed recall using working memory. Both humor recognition and appreciation had no correlation with psychosocial and neurocognitive functioning. FEP patients had impaired humor recognition, appreciation and recall compared with healthy controls. The degree of humor recognition and recall deficits may be, respectively, associated with the extent of negative symptoms and attributed to impairments in the neurocognitive domain of working memory. Potentials of humorous stimuli in inducing a positive impact on mood for the patient population were found, providing insight for the introduction of humor therapy as a new form of intervention that could further improve psychological well-being.

The current study analysed baseline data from the Jockey Club Early Psychosis (JCEP) 4-year RCT study (still underway). The aims were to (1) examine whether the correlations between premorbid functioning and the outcome variables of social functioning and clinical symptoms were significant in baseline measurements of the JCEP study, and (2) pave the way for the examination of the persistence of these correlations at 4 year follow-up, after the completion of the JCEP study. 360 first-episode adult-onset psychosis patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders were recruited from all inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units in Hong Kong since 2009. Premorbid functioning was measured by the Premorbid Adjustment Scale (PAS). Social functioning was measured by the Role Functioning Scale (RFS) and Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS). Clinical symptoms were measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), and Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS). Premorbid adjustment was significantly correlated with social functioning and negative symptoms; patients with poorer premorbid adjustment had worse social functioning and more severe negative symptoms. Positive symptoms were not significantly correlated with premorbid adjustment. There were no gender differences in premorbid adjustment. The majority of patients had a pattern of good premorbid adjustment (adequate to good levels of premorbid adjustment across all age-specific time periods). There were no significant differences in the outcome variables between the premorbid adjustment patterns. The current study findings have important clinical implications, in terms of advising the use of more effective and personalized interventions and treatment regimens on patients. In addition, the examination of premorbid adjustment facilitates early detection and identification of high risk psychosis individuals, which may help to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis.

Insight impairment is commonly reported in psychosis patients and such impairment leads to poor outcome and it also causes burden to the family and caregivers. It is as yet unclear what causes unawareness of illness therefore it is essential to find out the key element to form this fundamental correlation. Wiffen and David proposed that self-reflective processing may have similar cognitive mechanisms as theory of mind processing, but this does not imply that the processes cannot be affected independently. Lysaker et al. demonstrated that better meta-cognitive skills, such as the ability to think about one’s own thoughts were related to better insight in schizophrenia patients. An increasing number of studies suggest that patients lacking insight into their own illness, were fully capable of recognizing the illness and symptoms in other patients. This indicated that insight impairment only happened at the self-recognition level. The ability of integrating information from outside world to the self is seen as a factor in gaining insight, therefore self-reflection ability are commonly seen as key features of awareness of mental illness. Previous studies of chronic schizophrenia patients show that their ability to accept the biological model of their own psychotic symptoms, assessed with Guided Illness Model Questionnaire (GIM) questionnaire, has a positive association with their neuropsychological function and awareness of illness However, it has not been common to use GIM questionnaire in early stage psychosis patients. This study aims are (1) use Guided Illness Model Questionnaire (GIM) to assess the self-reflection ability of early stage psychosis patients (2) explore the relationship between self-reflection and insight (3) Cognitive functions, particular executive functions, will be evaluated with self-reflection ability and insight. Insight will be measured by scale to assess unawareness of mental disorder (SUMD). Results show self-reflection ability is related with insight impairment and executive function, especially processing speed and attention contributes to self-reflection ability and poor insight. Further investigation reveals that self-reflection ability acts as a mediator for poor insight. This study concludes that executive functioning is the basic-order process for gaining insight and self-reflection could act as higher-order process as mediator for provoking insight for psychosis patients.

▼ Given the costs and benefits associated with antipsychotic medication, the clinical decision to continue or discontinue antipsychotics treatment is very important, especially for patients remitted from their first episode psychosis for a period of time. To date, no universal guidelines have been proposed to address this issue as the solid empirical data are limited. Existing short-term evidence seems to suggest that patients who discontinued their antipsychotics experienced higher relapse rates. However, data on the long-term outcomes are lacking. The present study aimed to compare remitted first-episode psychosis patients who had discontinued their antipsychotic medications and those who continued to take antipsychotic medication in the early stage of their illness in terms of their long-term clinical and functional outcomes at 9 years. This study attempted to follow up 178 first-episode psychosis patients who participated in an earlier randomized controlled trial. In the original trial, patients were randomized into either a medication maintenance group or a medication discontinuation group for 12 months after having achieved full symptomatic remission for at least 1 year. In this study, subjects were interviewed at 9 years to assess their clinical profiles, functioning profiles, medication compliance, and subjective quality of life. Interviews were undertaken with 142 patients (79.8% of the original cohort). No significant differences were found between the medication maintenance group and the discontinuation group in terms of all domains of outcomes, including symptomatic remission, functional remission, recovery, relapse, hospitalization, functioning measures, subjective quality of life, medication compliance and medication intake. Compared to the discontinuation group, more patients in the medication maintenance group fulfilled the criteria for symptomatic remission (75.4% vs. 67.2% in the discontinuation group), functional remission (36.1% vs. 24.1% in the discontinuation group), and recovery (21.3% vs. 15.5% in the discontinuation group) at 9 years. Similar long-term clinical and functional outcomes were found between the medication maintenance and discontinuation groups, which differs from the results of existing short-term outcomes studies in which the discontinuation group had poorer outcomes and higher relapse rates. Although not statistically significant, the study found that remission (both symptomatic and functional) and recovery rates in the maintenance group were higher than those of the discontinuation group. The present study is one of the first studies to examine the long-term impact of medication discontinuation in the early phase of schizophrenia. The findings suggest that the long-term costs and outcomes are independent to an earlier decision to stop medication in first-episode psychosis. As the evidence that long-term outcomes may differ from those in short-term studies on medication discontinuation, more long-term studies are required to confirm our current…

▼ Background: In recent years, the study of emotion in psychosis has been neglected, and it would seem from the literature that emotion is not related to the formation or prediction of psychosis. Because emotions are the subjective experience of patients, they are not easily quantified. However, the latest fMRI research has shown that emotion and brain function are related and that understanding emotion is valuable for understanding patients’ cognitive function and its potential relationship with psychosis. Emotion regulation can be divided into two different categories based on when in the sequence of emotion regulation they appear. Cognitive reappraisal is antecedent-focused, and suppression is response-focused. I hypothesize that cognitive reappraisal can decrease maladaptive thought and emotions. In contrast, expressive suppression can reduce the appearance of emotion but not inner emotion. Furthermore, inhibiting a preference may not stop maladaptive emotions from arising over a long period of time. Methods: Two groups were recruited in study: a clinical group of patients with psychosis and a nonclinical group of healthy adolescents with no record of mental illness. Twenty-four psychotic patients were recruited from Early Assessment Services for Young People (EASY) in Queen Mary Hospital, and 30 nonclinical participants were recruited from nongovernmental organizations and schools. The participants ranged from 17 to 34 years old and were native Cantonese speakers living in Hong Kong. They completed a variety of measures of emotion regulation, depression, and anxiety. Results: The clinical and nonclinical groups were similar on several dimensions, including their demographic information and pattern of strategy usage. A higher percentage used both emotion-regulation strategies to cope with maladaptive emotion, and fewer used a single strategy. However, the two groups had significantly different outcomes from using expressive suppression as their major emotion regulation pattern. The clinical group was more likely to have higher depressive symptoms (moderate to severe levels on the Beck Depression Inventory). Conclusion: It is valuable to assess emotion-regulation strategies in order to evaluate patients’ habitual coping strategy. Cognitive reappraisal seems to allow participants to retain their cognitive function when maladaptive emotions are not fully occupying their cognitive resources. In contrast, when maladaptive emotion reaches a very high level, it cannot be contained through cognitive reappraisal. Habitual use of expressive suppression affects cognitive functioning and depletes resources that could be used for other regulation attempts. Unsuccessfully regulated maladaptive emotions could be a risk factor that occupies the cognitive functioning of psychotic patients. In order to solidify this hypothesis, further longitudinal research on psychotic patients’ emotional history is needed. More research is needed to understand the relationship between maladaptive emotions, cognitive function, and…

Objectives Severe mental illness is a debilitating condition affecting a wide range of functioning of an individual. Identification of signs and symptoms is part of clinical assessment which aids case formulation, making diagnosis, determine treatment planning and outcome. How the symptoms are documented in case record undoubtedly affect the decision and communication among mental health professionals, treatment protocol, potential outcome and prognosis. This is the first study in Hong Kong mental health service to overview the symptom dimensions documented by clinicians in case records. Currently, there is no clinical practice guideline to guide clinicians on symptom documentation. This study attempts to explore the symptom dimensions as documented in the first interview records of people with first episode psychosis in EASY clinic in a local hospital. The result will serve as preliminary reference material or the development of an appropriate documentation guideline or audit in future. Method A retrospective review of case records was conducted to evaluate the symptom documentation by clinicians. All first interview notes of patients suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorder who attended the EASY clinic in 2012 were included.90 case records were identified. The symptoms characteristics were recorded into a template and categorized with reference to the domains of psychopathology in DSM-5, SAPS and SANS. A total of 29 items of symptom characteristics and related clinical features were identified and measured with descriptive statistics. Results All symptom characteristics and clinical features were reported in percentage. It was found that majority of interview notes(62%)had documented a range of 22-26items out of 29 items(76-90%) of symptom characteristics and clinical features observed from case records. Clinicians had demonstrated high proficiency in documenting a comprehensive range of psychiatric symptoms. Conclusion This paper aims to increase the awareness of clinicians on continuous evaluation of current practice on symptom documentation; to identify good practice or area for improvement; and initiate the development of standardized documentation guideline to guide future symptom documentation practice for betterment of quality patient care and service planning for people with first episode psychosis.

Background: For early psychosis patients, the first few years were critical period for determining long-term illness outcome. The first experience of admission had significant bearing on the perception of subsequent psychiatric treatment received. From this perspective, it was important to be aware of how patients suffered and how they coped in order to regain their sense of self of insight and treatment adherence and trust with nurses’ rapport and their therapeutic relationship. In this regard, a qualitative study was done with an aim to (i) explore the admission experiences and beliefs participants held upon admission and after discharged within two months. (ii) any influences on their perceptions of experience during and after admission which might impact on therapeutic relationship and treatment attitude Method: Eight ICD-10 first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients aged between 18 and 55 years who admitted to psychiatric inpatient unit for the management of their FEP were recruited. Two face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted for each participant. First interview was conducted within 2 weeks of admission, while second interview was conducted during psychiatric outpatient follow-up appointment within two months after discharged from hospital. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Thematic analysis was employed to derive common themes regarding patients’ experience and perception on psychiatric hospitalization for their FEP. Results: Thematic analysis revealed six main themes regarding patients’ subjective experience and perception on the illness and hospitalization. These were uncontrollable sense of self, supportive relationship with family members, unpleasant admission procedure, and feeling out of control during hospitalization, perceived benefits of admission, and perceived adverse impacts of admission. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that ideas about what constitute admission perception needed to take into account of patient’s views and experience in order to emphasize therapeutic optimism rather than pessimism, and to inform treatment contexts and the views of nursing staff.

Introduction: The connection between self and psychosis has been qualitatively noted for centuries, but left relatively neglected in the field of quantitative psychology research. Some targeted studies have shown that self-concept is different in patients with psychosis than healthy volunteers. Studies of individuals have established a specific relationship between distortions of self and the content of delusions. Recent studies have begun to collect evidence of changes of self in the early stages of psychosis. Research suggests that delusions and self-concept have various shared cognitive mechanisms and neuroanatomy, particularly with respect to persecutory delusions. Changes in self-concept are apparent in persons at ultra high risk for developing psychosis, suggesting that it precedes specific symptomatology and could be at the root of delusion formation. Therefore, we identify where the two domains intersect while overcoming the limitations of past studies such as considering only persecutory delusions, minimally defining self, and including patients with a wide range of diagnoses. Methods: We consider delusions and self-concept in a patient group, consisting of 22 persons with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and a group of 22 healthy volunteers. Delusional ideation is measured through the Peters et al Delusion Inventory (PDI) which derives a total, three subscores- Distress, Preoccupation, Conviction- and seven factor scores based on delusion content. Self-concept is quantified using hierarchical classification (HICLAS) analysis which generates numeric and visual outputs. It is important to specify that self is a deceivingly broad topic of which we will focus on the trait level- that is, which adjectives individuals use to describe their selves and others who are close to them. In addition to PDI and HICLAS evaluations, patients undergo clinical diagnoses and symptom ratings. Results: While there was no diagnostic group difference in the PDI total or subscores, patients had more delusional ideation with respect to three types of content, as determined by the factor scores. HICLAS did not show group differences. However, patients and controls had different relationships between PDI and HICLAS measures, with patients showing a greater overall connection between the two domains. The specific results are discussed, including two qualitative case studies. Conclusion: We conclude that the relationship between self-concept and schizophrenia is specific to delusions rather than general symptomatology. Relationships are drawn between the cognitive theories underlying each domain. The findings are important to theoretical understandings of self and delusions. Furthermore, it is hoped that advanced understanding of these topics can likely lead to new, targeted psychotherapeutic treatment approaches.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) has been shown to be effective in managing distressing positive psychotic symptoms such as delusion and hallucination. CBTp is therefore recommended to be provided to people suffering from persistent positive psychotic symptoms. However, little evidence is available about presenting CBTp in a group format, which is a cost effective way to improve patients’ access to psychological services. Besides, most of the studies of group CBTp were done in Western countries; evidence about the effectiveness of group CBTp is thus highly inadequate in the Asian context. The aims of the present study are to explore the utility of group CBTp in the Asian context and its effectiveness on positive psychotic symptoms using a randomised controlled trial. This study was conducted in the out-patient and day-patient units of the Department of Psychiatry, Kowloon Hospital, Hong Kong. Patients in this study were referred by their treating psychiatrist and were randomised to receive either group CBTp plus treatment as usual or to receive psychoeducation intervention (PsyEdI) plus treatment as usual. Both the group CBTp and PsyEdI consisted of 7 consecutive weekly sessions with a booster session 4 weeks after the last session. Patients were asked to complete different outcome measures including a Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), a Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), a Chinese version of the Beliefs About Voice Questionnaire-Revised version (BAVQ-R), a Chinese version of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS), as well as a Chinese version of the Southampton Mindfulness Questionnaire. They were also interviewed by a clinical psychologist using the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS) to assess their delusion and hallucination. All the assessments were conducted both before the start of and after the end of the intervention. Participants receiving group CBTp (n=25) showed significantly greater improvement in their delusion and had a more positive trend in their hallucination than those receiving PsyEdI (n=23). Group CBTp was also found to be effective in reducing patients’ dysfunctional beliefs towards voices, especially in the subscale of benevolence and omnipotence, as well as their conviction on delusion. Moreover, participants in the group CBTp was found to have a significant reduction in their distress from positive psychotic symptoms. The study revealed that group CBTp can be effective in improving positive psychotic symptoms to those patients with persistent distressing psychotic experiences. Group CBTp could be considered as an effective adjunctive psychological intervention to patients with psychosis and be feasible for application in routine clinical practice.
