The first question to be raised is the contribution of normal developmental processes to the pathogenesis of psychotic symptoms, ending up with the second question, what impacts psychopathology itself may exert on normal development concerning defects, vulnerabilities and disturbances of age-dependent adaptive processes [11]. Normal cognitive and emotional development seems to be a prerequisite for symptom formation. These assumptions may help us in the interpretation of different psychotic and prodromal phenomena in children and adolescents. Looking at the table of ages, we find overlapping disturbances in various age groups. First manifestations of pervasive developmental disorders - Kanner-Autism [7] - can be detected in the age group from birth to six years. Asperger syndrome [2] may be particularly detected in the age group between six and nine years. In this age group also very early onset psychosis can be elucidated, which shows predominantly formal thought disorder and inappropriate affect. Very early onset psychoses presenting with hallucinations and delusions rather seem to start off in the age group between nine and twelve years. Of these patients, 60% show developmental disorders of speech and language, and about one third present with pervasive developmental disorders in prodromal stages [1]. Early onset psychoses with a lifetime prevalence of about 0.23% begin in the age group between twelve and eighteen [3]. Adult psychosis presents with prodromal features that reach back into ages around and before puberty [5]. From an epidemiological point of view all these groups of disorders may be found during the adolescent age."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/978-3-642-57516-7_15"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15009"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Steinkopff"],["dc.publisher.place","Heidelberg"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1007/978-3-642-57516-7"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-642-63282-2"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-642-57516-7"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Risk and Protective Factors in Schizophrenia"],["dc.title","Specificity of basic symptoms in early onset schizophrenia"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
