Full course titel: Schizophrenia Proneness Instrument, Adult (SPI-A) and Child & Youth (SPI-CY) version: Assessing basic symptoms and basic symptom criteria for predicting psychosis Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the state-of-the-art in basic symptom research 2. Understand similarities and differences between the basic symptom concept and other major approaches for the detection of ultra high risk states for psychosis 3. Recognize the width of clinical and scientific applications of basic symptoms 4. Assess and score basic symptoms using the SPI-A or SPI-CY, being supervised and trained according to gold-standard ratings Content The aim of the course is twofold: First, it will give an introduction into the concept of basic symptoms and its similarities with and differences to related psychopathological concepts and other early detection approaches (clinical- and ultra-high risk for psychosis). An overview of basic symptom research and outlook will illustrate the potential for applying the concept. Second, participants will be taught in the use of both versions of the Schizophrenia Proneness Instrument (SPI-A/SPI-CY). SPI-A and SPI-CY were both developed as a semistructured interview by the course teacher (Frauke Schultze-Lutter) with a focus on the early detection of psychoses. Using role-play and transcribed patient interviews, participants will score at least one interview under supervision and, based on a second interview, will be examined for their correspondence with a gold-standard rating. Participants 12 to 20 participants Ph.D.-students in general adult or child and adolescent psychiatry or clinical research and clinicians can participate.
