Three types of psychotic-like experiences in youth at clinical high risk for psychosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 A fully dimensional model of psychosis implies that psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) connect the entire psychosis spectrum. Three types of self-reported PLEs-persecutory ideation, bizarre experiences, and perceptual abnormalities-are commonly found in the general population.
