Abstract

Background and MethodResearch has shown that psychotic illness is more prevalent in frequent cannabis users, even though many people enjoy cannabis recreationally without major concerns. Therefore, understanding what creates vulnerability for dangerous cannabis use patterns and psychosis is of major importance.ResultPsychological risk factors such as exposure to trauma/adversity and attachment style have been shown to create risk for both harmful patterns of cannabis use and psychosis.DiscussionHowever, evidence regarding the individual and cumulative effects of these factors on psychosis onset and severity is lacking. Understanding the role of trauma and attachment in creating vulnerability for cannabis overuse might lead to incorporation of trauma and attachment-oriented therapies in the treatment of suitable individuals with early psychosis and cannabis misuse, and the development of more effective prevention.
