Network theory assumes that mental health problems persist not because of a common latent variable, but from dynamic feedback loops between symptoms, thereby addressing the heterogeneous and overlapping nature of traumagenic and psychotic diagnoses. This is a proof-of-concept study examining interactions between post-traumatic stress symptoms, which were hypothesized to reflect trauma-related psychological mechanisms, and auditory hallucinations and delusions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001300_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Baseline data from two randomised controlled trials (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 216) of trauma-focused therapy in people with post-traumatic stress symptoms (87.5% met diagnostic criteria for PTSD) and psychotic disorder were analysed. Reexperiencing, hyperarousal, avoidance, trauma-related beliefs, auditory hallucinations and delusional beliefs were used to estimate a Gaussian graphical model along with expected node influence and predictability (proportion of explained variance).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001300_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Trauma-related beliefs had the largest direct influence on the network and, together with hypervigilance, were implicated in the shortest paths from flashbacks to delusions and auditory hallucinations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001300_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings are in contrast to previous research suggesting a central role for re-experiencing, emotional numbing and interpersonal avoidance in psychosis. Trauma-related beliefs were the psychological mechanism most associated with psychotic symptoms, although not all relevant mechanisms were measured. This work demonstrates that investigating multiple putative mediators may clarify which processes are most relevant to trauma-related psychosis. Further research should use network modelling to investigate how the spectrum of traumatic stress reactions play a role in psychotic symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291720001300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T10:21:33Z","timestamp":1589797293000},"page":"2485-2492","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["A network analysis of post-traumatic stress and psychosis symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6044-6093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy","family":"Hardy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ciaran","family":"O'Driscoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Craig","family":"Steel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"van der Gaag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"van den Berg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0033291720001300_ref53","first-page":"223","volume-title":"A clinical handbook of psychosis","author":"van den Berg","year":"2020"},{"key":"S0033291720001300_ref35","unstructured":"Jones, P .
