DESCRIPTION:The Anomalous Body and Psychosis Risk: A Biopsychosocial Model\
 n\nBodily disturbances have long been identified is schizophrenia-spectrum
  disorders and serve as important early disease markers. Understanding how
  psychosis may be rooted in early changes in the body (physically and perc
 eptually) and how bodily disturbances may drive symptomology is critical f
 or understanding the disorder. Dr. Moussa-Tooks will review two new lines 
 of her work: First, using puberty as a model period of bodily change, she 
 will show that pubertal development is associated with psychotic-like expe
 riences supported by changes in bodily hormones and the brain. Second, she
  will describe new work linking changes in the perception of the body duri
 ng puberty to the emergence of anomalous experience and psychosis risk. Dr
 . Moussa-Tooks will end by reviewing next steps, including building a more
  robust biopsychosocial model and considering how these findings support w
 hat we know and what we have yet to learn about intervention. \n\nDr. Ale
 xandra Moussa-Tooks is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychol
 ogical and Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington.
