General psychopathology links burden of recent life events and psychotic symptoms in a network approach
Abstract Recent life events have been implicated in the onset and progression of psychosis. However, psychological processes that account for the association are yet to be fully understood. Using a network approach, we aimed to identify pathways linking recent life events and symptoms observed in ps...
