Abstrakt

The central goal of this manuscript was to review literature
about the interconnections of traumatic life events and
symptoms of schizophrenia spectrum of the last 15 years.
First of all, the stress-diathesis model and the traumagenic
neurodevelopmental model are shortly presented.
Psychological effects of traumas and specific psychotic symptoms
in connection with traumatic events are discussed. The
course of the disease in patients affected by previous traumas
and possible mediating factors are also addressed.
Studies of both clinical and community samples are cited. It
was also our aim to review literature about the neurobiological
and neurocognitive processes in people affected by
schizophrenia and/or traumatic life events. The role of prefrontal
and medial temporal regions are explored with a
special emphasis on contextual memory and hippocampal
functioning. Finally, the possible effects of exploring traumatic
life events on the treatment of schizophrenia are discussed.
