Association between perceived coercion and perceived level of information in involuntarily admitted patients: Results from a multicenter observational study in Switzerland
BACKGROUND: Involuntary admissions (IA) to psychiatric hospitals are controversial because they interfere with people's autonomy. In some situations, however, they appear to be unavoidable. Interestingly, not all patients perceive the same degree of coercion during IA. The aim of this study was to assess whether the level of knowledge about one's own IA is associated with perceived coercion. METHODS: This multicenter observational study was condu…
Mismatch negativity generation in subjects at risk for psychosis: Source analysis is more sensitive than surface electrodes in risk prediction
MMN activity differed significantly between subjects presenting only basic symptoms and subjects which additionally meet UHR criteria. The largest differences between groups as well as between individuals with and without transition were observed at the frontal source. The present results suggest that source analysis is more sensitive than surface electrodes in psychosis risk prediction by MMN
Psychometric evaluation of the German version of the Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC)
The German version of the OMS-HC demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and can be recommended for future research and intervention evaluation

Involuntary admission of psychiatric patients: Referring physicians’ perceptions of competence
BACKGROUND: Involuntary admissions can be detrimental for patients. Due to legal, ethical and clinical considerations, they are also challenging for referring physicians. Nevertheless, not much is known about the subjective perceptions of those who have to decide whether to conduct an involuntary admission or not. AIMS: This study aimed at answering the question whether psychiatrists' perceptions of confidence during psychiatric emergency situati…
Borderline Personality Pathology in an At Risk Mental State Sample
Introduction: Transient psychotic symptoms in patients with borderline personality disorder seem to be similar to those in patients with psychotic disorders. Especially in the field of early detection of psychosis, this might lead to individuals with borderline personality disorder being wrongly classified as subjects at risk for developing a manifest psychosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of borderline symptoms…
Early Somatosensory Processing Over Time in Individuals at Risk to Develop Psychosis
Objective: Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) enable the investigation of thalamocortical and early cortical processing. Previous studies reported alterations of SEPs in patients with schizophrenia as well as in individuals in the prodromal stage. Moreover, cannabis use as an environmental risk factor for the development of schizophrenia has been demonstrated to influence SEP parameters in individuals at risk to develop psychosis. The aim of …
Characteristics of Psychiatric Emergency Situations and the Decision-Making Process Leading to Involuntary Admission
Introduction: Involuntary admissions to psychiatric hospitals, regardless of their beneficial effects, violate the patients' autonomy. To keep such measures at a minimum and develop less restricting and coercive alternatives, a better understanding of the psychiatric emergency situations which end up in involuntary admissions is needed. This descriptive and exploratory study investigates the consultations leading to involuntary admission and the …
Psychopathology—a Precision Tool in Need of Re-sharpening
Psychopathology is the scientific exploration of abnormal mental states that, for more than a century, has provided a Gestalt for psychiatric disorders and guided clinical as well as scientific progress in modern psychiatry. In the wake of the immense technical advances, however, psychopathology has been increasingly marginalized by neurobiological, genetic, and neuropsychological research. This ongoing erosion of psychiatric phenomenology is fur…
Machine Learning: An Approach in Identifying Risk Factors for Coercion Compared to Binary Logistic Regression
Introduction: Although knowledge about negative effects of coercive measures in psychiatry exists, its prevalence is still high in clinical routine. This study aimed at define risk factors and test machine learning algorithms for their accuracy in the prediction of the risk to being subjected to coercive measures. Methods: In a sample of involuntarily hospitalized patients ( n = 393) at the University Hospital of Psychiatry Zurich, we analyzed ri…
Prediction Analysis for Transition to Schizophrenia in Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis: The Relationship of DAO, Daoa, and NRG1 Variants with Negative Symptoms and Cognitive Deficits
Schizophrenia is characterized by positive and negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction. The glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia has been hypothesized to explain the negative symptoms and cognitive deficits better than the dopamine hypothesis alone. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether glutamatergic variants such as d-amino acid oxidase ( DAO ), DAO activator ( DAOA )/ G72 , and neuregulin 1 ( NRG1 ) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)…
