IPASE - Psychotic-Like Anomalous Self-Experiences

Lexicon [Measures] -  IPASE

Used in psychology/psychiatry to capture subtle manifestations of psychosis-like experiences that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for a psychotic disorder.

Submeasures include.
  • Self-disorders: disturbances in the sense of self, including disruptions in self-awareness, self-boundaries, and self-other differentiation.
  • Cognitive disturbances: cognitive anomalies such as thought interference, disorganized thinking, and difficulties in attention and concentration.
  • Perceptual anomalies: perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations, illusions, and alterations in the perception of time or space.
  • Thought abnormalities:  unusual or idiosyncratic beliefs, magical thinking, and experiences of thought control or insertion.
Limitations:
  • self-report measures are subject to biases and inaccuracies.
  • Not a dx tool.

Limitations wrt use in autism population
  • While there may be autism features that appear to overlap with psychosis (eg: social communication deficits & RRB) they are not indicative of true psychosis.
