abstract = {AbstractBackground: Childhood adversities and traumata
(CAT) increase the risk for various mental disorders,
including the clinical high-risk of psychosis (CHR-P) state
and its main comorbidities, i.e., depression, and social
phobia. However, these relations are likely mediated by
personal coping behaviors. This cross-sectional study
investigates the relationships between the main CAT domains,
coping, CHR-P, depression, and social phobia.Methods: Using
path analyses, we analyzed data of 736 patients (mean age 24
years, $67\%$ male) who presented at an early detection
service between 2002 and 2013, answered questionnaires on
CAT, coping, depressiveness, and social phobia, and
underwent clinical examination for CHR-P according to the
recommendations of the Guidance project of the European
Psychiatric Association.Results: All path models (total
sample, males and females) showed good to excellent fit to
the data. In all models, higher scores on maladaptive coping
mediated the negative effect of emotional abuse on mental
health outcomes. Additionally, in the total sample and
males, lower scores on adaptive coping mediated the negative
effect of emotional abuse and neglect, and physical neglect
was associated with lower scores on adaptive coping that, in
turn, were linked to depression and social phobia but not
CHR-P. Overall, effects of maladaptive coping were higher
than those of adaptive coping, although adaptive coping was
more diversely associated with CAT. Furthermore, the
interrelated depression and social phobia were more widely
explained by the models than CHR-P, which was not
significantly associated with them.Conclusions: Our findings
underscore the complex interplay of the CAT domains and
their relevant mediators with mental health outcomes that
likely reflect underlying sex-specific psychological,
social, cultural and neurobiological mechanisms. Supporting
a broader view on CAT than the traditional focus on sexual
abuse, results indicate an important role of emotional abuse
that, descriptively, is most strongly mediated by
maladaptive coping strategies on mental health outcomes. A
detailed understanding of the effects of CAT will in future
help to develop a multi-dimensional, holistic and
sex-specific approach to the treatment of patients who have
experienced CAT.Trial registration: The study was registered
