Objective: In this study, we conduct a qualitative analysis of referred traumatic experiences of outpatients diagnosed with psychotic disorders. Method: Focus groups were formed and in-depth interviews conducted with 30 participants, focusing on their experience with the disorder and the health care received. Given the frequency with which trauma and psychosis have been associated in the scientific literature, the nature of this relation is addressed as a secondary objective, via a qualitative analysis.Results: Analysis revealed two main themes in the patients’ discourse. On many occasions, traumatic experiences were related to the development of the disorder. Although most participants referred to traumatic experiences during childhood, episodes during adult life were also reported, which may have triggered the disorder. The second theme was that of the interlocking relationship between the psychotic experience and certain coercive practices undergone during the provision of health care for psychosis, and the traumatic effects thus generated.Conclusions: The participants considered both themes to be highly important. Accordingly, these issues should be carefully assessed and managed in order to provide appropriate person centred care 10.1080/20008198.2021.1940759 2000-8066 2000-8198 European Journal of Psychotraumatology http://hdl.handle.net/10668/4527 34367524 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/18410 Psychosis Psychotic disorder Trauma Focus group In-depth interviews Qualitative research Psicosis Trastorno psicótico Trauma Grupo focal Entrevistas en profundidad Investigación cualitativa I do not know where it comes from, I am suspicious of some childhood trauma' association of trauma with psychosis according to the experience of those affected
