Sexual abuse and psychosis: The security of research findings

Sexual abuse is by its very nature likely to have pernicious effects: certainly its psychiatric consequences are extensive. They include a range of affective disorders, eating disorders, and alcohol and drug abuse (Jonas et al., 2011), but also psychotic disorders (Bebbington et al., 2004, 2011; Varese et al., 2012; de Vries et al., 2018)
