Dissociative experiences mediate the association between childhood trauma and verbal hallucinations, but not delusional thoughts, in borderline personality disorder
The results of the mediation analyses are similar to those shown in schizophrenia, suggesting that the examined symptoms in BPD may underlie similar mechanisms. Further research should examine the benefit of the therapeutic approaches for each of the trauma-associated symptom clusters.
