  • Title: Childhood and adolescent psychosis: a review of the past 10 years.
    Author: Volkmar FR.
    Journal: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry; 1996 Jul; 35(7):843-51. PubMed ID: 8768343.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Developmental aspects of psychosis are reviewed and related to the more frequent psychotic conditions in children and adolescents. METHOD: The review of the recent literature focuses on developmental aspects of psychotic phenomena, i.e., hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorder. RESULTS: While the applicability of much early work on this topic is limited, more recent work suggests that psychotic conditions are observed in childhood and increase in frequency during adolescence. CONCLUSIONS: Developmental factors in the expression of psychosis are relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of such conditions.
