AB  - This study was designed to assess cognitive functioning in a clinical sample of 
      adolescents with heterogeneous psychiatric diagnoses, with a specific focus on 
      patients at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. The sample comprised 22 
      patients identified at CHR for psychosis, 67 psychotic and 187 non-psychotic, 
      non-CHR patients. Neuropsychological assessment was conducted as part of the 
      clinical examination and treatment, including Wechsler Intelligence Scale for 
      Children (WISC)-III and/or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-III measures 
      of verbal comprehension, perceptual organisation, working memory and processing 
      speed, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) measures of executive function, and the 
      Rorschach Comprehensive System measures of perceptual and thinking accuracy. 
      Patients at CHR for psychosis did not significantly differ from other patient 
      groups in terms of intellectual or executive functions. The Rorschach Perceptual 
      Thinking Index (PTI) distinguished patients at CHR for psychosis from those 
      diagnosed as having non-psychotic disorders, but not from those diagnosed as 
      psychotic. Our results suggest perceptual and thought disturbance as an important 
      indicator of vulnerability to psychosis.
