Understanding the relationships between parenting, attachment, schemas and psychosis: A serial mediation analysis

The findings support the tested hypotheses suggesting that attachment and schemas act as serial mediators in the relationship between parenting style and psychosis. The results highlight the importance of considering attachment and schemas when working therapeutically with people with psychosis. Further research is needed to elaborate on this understanding, develop early parenting interventions to support parents to foster secure attachment in their children and place a focus on schema change within CBT for psychosis.
