Among 43 individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis, those who later remitted had lower baseline levels of basic self-disturbance than those whose symptoms persisted or who transitioned to psychosis. Basic self-disturbance scores predicted worse clinical outcomes at 12 months. Source monitoring deficits were greater in first-episode psychosis patients than in those at ultra-high risk whose symptoms persisted or transitioned. The findings suggest that high levels of basic self-disturbance may serve as a predictor of poor prognosis in ultra-high risk patients.
