“Please tell me what happened”: A descriptive study on prevalence, disclosure and characteristics of victimization in people with a psychotic disorder

摘要

IntroductionAlthough people with a psychotic disorder are approximately four to six times more often victimized than the general population, victimization is not routinely assessed in mental healthcare. This study investigates prevalence, context and risk factors of victimization in patients with a psychotic disorder in the Northern, relatively rural region of the Netherlands. Moreover, disclosure rates and awareness of psychiatrists are examined.
