DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will give a brief introduction to the clinica
 l and epidemiological characteristics of psychotic disorders. I will give 
 an overview of the incidence of the disorders\, as well as discuss some of
  the main environmental risk factors. \n\nOne consistent epidemiological f
 inding is that incidence of psychotic disorders is significantly higher in
  ethnic minority groups\, although exactly which group is most affected ap
 pears to differ per host country. Various hypotheses have been suggested t
 o explain this finding\, and I will discuss some of these. I will elaborat
 e on the idea of otherness\, or difference from the majority population\, 
 as an explanatory paradigm and I will outline how I aim to test this withi
 n my PhD.
