The relationship between negative symptoms and cognitive functioning in patients at clinical high risk for psychosis

Early detection and intervention in patients at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) represents a growing and promising field of research (Riecher-R össler and McGorry, 2016; Riecher-Rössler and Studerus, 2017). According to the guidelines of the European Psychiatric Association, the CHR state can be characterized by two complementary conceptualizations, namely the ultra-high risk (UHR) and the basic symptom (BS) approach (see Schultze-Lutter  et al., 2015 for overview). UHR criteria capture prepsychotic symptoms, such as attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) and brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS) but also the genetic risk and deterioration syndrome (GRD) (Schultze-Lutter et al., 2015).
