Testing Vulnerability Models: Stability of Potential Vulnerability Indicators Across Clinical State

摘要: In recent years, several researchers have proposed a distinction between vulnerability indicators (or markers) and episode for schizophrenic disorders, based on whether an abnormality is present only during the active psychotic state or continuing basis (Zubin Spring 1977; Cromwell Spaulding 1978). Measures that reveal abnormalities acute then return to normal levels nonpsychotic, clinically remitted periods are called indicators, because they index processes show disruptions period. Episode would be expected include (1) reflect immediately underlying symptoms (2) secondary associated with symptoms.
