There are 3 main types of delusions in schizophrenia:
1. ( Delusions of grandeur:, Somatic delusions:, Delusions of persecution: ) the false belief that the sufferer is someone of extreme importance
2. ( Delusions of persecution:, Delusions of grandeur:, Somatic delusions ) the false belief that the sufferer is being targeted- makes them very suspicious. These are the most common form of delusions for sufferers.
3. ( Somatic delusions:, Delusions of grandeur:, Delusions of persecution: ) a preoccupation with one's body- the false belief that something is wrong/odd with their body e.g. tumours, blood made of silver

Reliability references the ( consistency, validity, accuracy ) of a study. One important measure of reliability is ( inter-rater, integrated, experimental, valid ) reliability. This is the consistency of ( multiple, one ) researchers' diagnoses- do they all come to ( the same, a different, a similar ) conclusion?

( Cheniaux, Buckley, Rosenhan ) et al. (2009) asked two psychiatrists to ( independently, work together to ) diagnose 100 patients using the DSM and ICD criteria. Inter-rater reliability was ( poor, good ):
One psychiatrist diagnosed 26 patients using the ( DSM, ICD ) and 44 patients using the ( ICD, DSM )
The other psychiatrist diagnosed 13 patients with the ( DSM, ICD ) and 24 using the ( ICD, DSM ).
This shows that the results are not consistent; if they were, both psychiatrist would have diagnosed the same number of patients e.g. both diagnosed 26 using the DSM.

One way of assessing validity of diagnosis is ( criterion validity, inter-rater reliability, external validity, internal validity ). This is whether two diagnostic systems come to ( the same, a different ) conclusion in terms of diagnosis of a patient. Good criterion validity would mean two diagnostic systems (e.g. DSM and ICD) give the same diagnosis to the same patient.

Cheniaux et al. (2009) did a study in which two psychiatrists independently diagnosed 100 patients using the DSM and the ICD. It was found that DSM diagnosed ( almost half as many, double the amount of, the same amount of ) patients with schizophrenia in comparison to the ICD e.g. one psychiatrist diagnosed 13 people using the DSM and 24 using the ICD. This clearly indicates that the two diagnostic systems ( are not, are ) reaching the same conclusions in terms of diagnosis, and therefore the ( criterion validity, inter-rater reliability ) is poor.

Longenecker found that ( men, women ) are more likely than ( women, men ) to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, this difference ( does not, does ) mean they are necessarily more likely to suffer from schizophrenia; it may actually be a case of ( gender, culture ) bias. One argument is that they do suffer more than ( women, men ) do because they are ( genetically, psychologically ) more vulnerable to developing schizophrenia. However, others argue that men are ( more, less ) likely to be diagnosed because women do not outwardly display symptoms so they may be ( underdiagnosed, overdiagnosed ) with schizophrenia. They may also be more high functioning than men, so can continue to work despite symptoms. This questions the ( validity, reliability ) of the diagnostic and classification systems.

African Americans are several times ( more, less ) likely than white people to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, rates of schizophrenia in Africa are relatively ( low, high, similar ), so it can be concluded that these differences ( are not, are ) due to genetic vulnerability for schizophrenia, but rather the result of bias in diagnosis. For example, hearing voices in Africa is often seen as a form of communication with ancestors, and is therefore more acceptable. As well as this, white psychiatrist may over-interpret symptoms and distrust the honesty of black people. This is an example of ( cultural, gender, lack of ) bias.

( Fromm-Reichmann, Ripke, Curran, Bateson ) (1948) suggested the psychological explanation for schizophrenia that a schizophrenogenic mother can influence the development of schizophrenia. A schizophrenogenic mother is ( cold and dominant, kind and friendly, quiet and distant, clingy and attention-seeking ), causing conflict and tension in the family. This causes ( secrecy, honesty, unity ), leading to distrust and, eventually, ( paranoia, peace, a stable environment ). This therefore causes schizophrenic symptoms such as ( persecutory delusions, disorganised speech, delusions of grandeur, flat effect ).

Bateson (1972) proposed the ( double, single, half, triple ) bind theory: ( faulty, lack of, too much ) communication in families causes schizophrenia. This involves ( contradictory, honest, hostile ) messages, e.g. mother telling child to do something, but when they do it they are punished. This leads to confusion and fear of doing the wrong thing. The individual will then develop strategies and behaviours to ( avoid, ensure ) the double bind situation, which results in symptoms such as avolition, social withdrawal and the flat effect.

Cognitive explanations for schizophrenia revolve around ( dysfunctional, functional, personal ) thought processing. Lowered processing in the ventral striatum and superior temporal gyrus ( support, oppose ) the cognitive explanation, as they emphasise how changes in thought processing can cause schizophrenic symptoms.
There are two main explanations:
1. Dysfunctional ( meta-representation, meta-analysis, meta-presentation )- disruption in the ability to recognise ( our own, others' ) actions and thoughts as being carried out by ourselves, causing ( hallucinations, negative symptoms ).
2. Lack of central control- the ( inability, ability ) to supress ( automatic, voluntary ) thoughts, causing disorganised speech. The Stroop test found that schizophrenics take ( twice, half ) as long to supress their automatic thoughts compared to a control group.

Berger (1965) found that schizophrenic patients reported ( higher, lower, equal ) recall of double bind statements compared to non-schizophrenics. This is therefore is ( supporting, opposing ) evidence for the double bind theory, however it lacks ( reliability, validity ); the patients already have schizophrenia, so they may be experiencing delusions which make them believe they experienced double bind situations, when they actually didn't. For example, if they were questioned before the onset of the symptoms, they may have had lower recall, meaning there ( would not, would ) be consistency over time.

Typical drug therapy for schizophrenia was introduced in the 19( 50, 70, 90 )s, with a drug called ( chlorpromazine, clozapine, risperidone ) that could either be injected or consumed. This therapy involves dopamine ( antagonists, agonists ): the drug blocks the receptor sites for dopamine in post-synaptic neurons, hence ( decreasing, increasing ) levels of the neurotransmitter, meaning symptoms such as ( hallucinations, avolition ) are reduced. Chlorpromazine is also used as a sedative, as it is linked to the neurotransmitter ( histamine, glutamate ) as well.

Atypical drug therapy for schizophrenia was introduced in the 19( 70, 50, 90 )s, with a drug called ( clozapine, chlorpromazine, risperidone ). The aim of this type of drug therapy was to reduce the side effects of typical drug therapy. Like chlorpromazine, this drug also binds to dopamine receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, hence blocking them, but it also does the same for neurotransmitters ( serotonin, histamine ) and ( glutamate, noradrenaline ). It is often prescribed to ( suicidal, less severe, uncooperative ) patients for its mood-enhancing effects. However, this drug is also known to cause ( agranulocytosis, tardine dyskinesia ), a fatal blood disorder, so a new drug was made in the 19( 90, 50 )s, risperidone. It has the same binding qualities as clozapine, but binds ( more, less ) strongly, so the doses are smaller and the side effects are reduced.

The diathesis-stress model
( Diathesis, Stressor ): vulnerability
( Stressor, Diathesis ): trigger

Original diathesis-stress model for schizophrenia
Diathesis: ( genetic, psychological, traumatic ) vulnerability- the schizogene (one gene which leads to development of the schizotypic personality, characterised by sensitivity to stress)
Stressor: ( environmental, psychological, genetic ) trigger- stress in childhood e.g. schizophrenogenic mother

Modern diathesis-stress model
Diathesis: ( not necessarily, always ) a genetic vulnerability, and multiple genes are involved. Psychological trauma can also cause vulnerability
Stressor: the stressor is ( not necessarily, always ) just psychological, it is simply any factor which increases the risk of the onset of schizophrenia e.g. smoking cannabis

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

Not all schizophrenics experience childhood sexual trauma or cannabis use- not a full explanation
Smoking cannabis may be a symptom of schizophrenia, not the trigger
External factors such as smoking play no role in the onset of schizophrenia, according to the interactionist approach

What did Tienari's research suggest about the interactionist approach?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

That children with a genetic vulnerability and a childhood characterised by negative expressed emotion were most likely to develop schizophrenia- both a vulnerability and a trigger is needed

'While research such as Tarrier's support the interactionist approach, it is possible that the cause of schizophrenia is not necessarily an interaction between biological and psychological. It is difficult to tell if, in the experiments where effectiveness of interactionist treatments is measured, it is actually just one treatment making the difference. We cannot be entirely sure, therefore, whether an interaction between the two factors is the cause of schizophrenia.'
Is this statement true or false?
