AB  - BACKGROUND: The Sense of Coherence (SOC) theory gives a possible explanation of 
      how people can experience subjective good health despite severe illness. Basic 
      self-disturbances (BSDs) are subtle non-psychotic disturbances that may 
      destabilize the person's sense of self, identity, corporeality, and the overall 
      'grip' of the world. AIM: Our objective was to investigate associations between 
      BSDs and SOC in patients with psychotic disorders. DESIGN: This is a 
      cross-sectional study of 56 patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders inside 
      and outside the schizophrenia spectrum (35 schizophrenia, 13 bipolar, and eight 
      other psychoses). SOC was measured using Antonovsky's 13-item SOC questionnaire, 
      and BSDs were assessed using the Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE) 
      manual. Diagnosis, symptoms, and social and occupational performance were 
      assessed using standardized clinical instruments. RESULTS: We found a 
      statistically significant correlation (r = ) between high levels of BSDs and low 
      levels of SOC (r = -0.64/p<0.001). This association was not influenced by 
      diagnostics, clinical symptoms or level of functioning in follow-up multivariate 
      analyses. CONCLUSION: A statistically significant association between BSDs and 
      SOC indicates that the presence and level of self-disturbances may influence the 
      person's ability to experience life as comprehensive, manageable and meaningful. 
      However, the cross-sectional nature of the study precludes conclusions regarding 
      the direction of this association.
