title: A dynamic vulnerability perspective on stress and schizophrenia.
abstract: Previous vulnerability models of schizophrenia, while strong, have serious limitations. To deal with the main areas of concern, a multifactor transactional conceptual framework of stress and schizophrenia, which builds on earlier models and incorporates recent research findings, is proposed. Research implications deriving from this framework are discussed.
