Abstract

Literature suggests that social maladjustment is predictive of psychosis. We assessed 70 clinical high risk (CHR) patients for social maladjustment. There were no significant differences between patients with a positive or negative family history, suggesting that the relationship between social maladjustment and psychosis found in the recent literature may not translate to a relationship between social maladjustment and family history of psychosis in a CHR population.
