Anomalous Self-Experiences and their Relationship with Symptoms, Neuro-cognition, and Functioning in At-Risk Adolescents and Young Adults

Empirical and theoretical studies support the notion that anomalous self-experience (ASE) may constitute a phenotypic aspect of vulnerability to schizophrenia, but there are no studies examining the relationship of ASE with other clinical risk factors in a sample of ultra-high risk (UHR) subjects. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between ASE, prodromal symptoms, neurocognition, and global functioning in a sample of 45 UHR adolescents and young adults (age range 15–25 years) at first contact with Public Mental Health Services.
