TL;DR: The EASE does not cover all potential anomalies of experience, but focuses only on the disorders of the self, which cannot be used alone as a diagnostic instrument.

Abstract: for a detailed account of phenomena that have in common a somehow deformed sense of fi rst-person perspective – in brief, a disorder or defi ciency in the sense of being a subject, a self-coinciding center of action, thought, and experience 1 . The scale is mainly designed for conditions in the schizophrenia spectrum, but it cannot be used alone as a diagnostic instrument (self-disorders are not listed by the DSM-IV or ICD-10 as diagnostically crucial or even important features of schizophrenia; derealization and depersonalization are mentioned as nonessential features of schizotypy). The EASE does not cover all potential anomalies of experience, but focuses only on the disorders of the self [in contrast to the BSABS (‘Bonner Skala fur die Beurteilung von Basissymptomen’) [Gross et al., 1987], e.g. perceptual disorders are not explored].

Psychotic-like experiences and correlation with distress and depressive symptoms in a community sample of adolescents and young adults.
Marco Armando,Barnaby Nelson,Alison R. Yung,Margaret Ross,Maximilian Birchwood,Paolo Girardi,Paolo Fiori Nastro +6 more
TL;DR: Different subtypes of PLEs seem to have different psychopathological meaning and may therefore indicate different levels of risk of severe psychiatric disorders, which suggests it is misleading to define PSEs as a homogenous entity.

Temporality and psychopathology
TL;DR: The concept of implicit and explicit temporality was introduced in this paper, which refers to time as pre-reflectively lived vs. consciously experienced, and it is shown that temporality, embodiment and intersubjectivity are closely connected.
Basic Self-Disturbance Predicts Psychosis Onset in the Ultra High Risk for Psychosis “Prodromal” Population
TL;DR: The results indicate that identifying basic self-disturbance in the UHR population may provide a means of further "closing in" on individuals truly at high risk of psychotic disorder, particularly of schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Rediscovering Psychopathology: The Epistemology and Phenomenology of the Psychiatric Object
TL;DR: It is argued that neglect of these issues is a crucial source of the stagnation of psychiatric research, and offers a critique of the contemporary “operationalist” epistemology, consistent with Jaspers’ views.
Self-disturbance and schizophrenia: Structure, specificity, pathogenesis (Current issues, New directions)
TL;DR: The ipseity-disturbance model offers an integrative and dynamic view of schizophrenia congruent with recent trends in cognitive neuroscience and consistent with the heterogeneous, varying, and holistic nature of this enigmatic illness.

Schizophrenia, Consciousness, and the Self
Louis A. Sass,Josef Parnas +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes a unifying account emphasizing basic abnormalities of consciousness that underlie and also antecede a disparate assortment of signs and symptoms of schizophrenic symptoms, and introduces the phenomenological approach along with a theoretical account of normal consciousness and self-awareness.

The initial prodrome in schizophrenia: searching for naturalistic core dimensions of experience and behavior.
Paul Møller,Ragnhild Husby +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the findings, the phenomena, and their significance in prodromes are valid because they are logical and coherent in light of clinical experience as well as the empirical literature of a full century.

Socio-economic inequalities in suicide: a European comparative study.
Vincent Lorant,Vincent Lorant,Anton E. Kunst,Martijn Huisman,Giuseppe Costa,Johan P. Mackenbach +5 more
TL;DR: Socio-economic inequalities in suicide are a generalised phenomenon in western Europe, but the pattern and magnitude of these inequalities vary between countries and these inequalities call for improved access to psychiatric care for lower socio-economic groups.
Anomalies of subjective experience in schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar illness.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored frequency of qualitative, not-yet-psychotic, anomalies of subjective experience in patients with residual schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar illness in remission and found that these experiential anomalies appear to be relevant for early differential diagnosis and therefore potentially useful in the preonset detection of the schizophrenia spectrum illness.
