Coping strategies in individuals at ultra-high risk of psychosis: A systematic review.

Aim: The impact of dysfunctional coping strategies during the prodromal phase of psychosis has recently been explored by several studies. What has yet to be clarified is whether maladaptive coping is evident in the prodromal phase and the impact that this might have on symptomatic and functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to review the findings on coping in individuals at ultra-high risk of psychosis (UHR) in relation to symptoms and level of functioning.
