Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Severe current substance abuse (e.g., the use of hallucinogens, cannabis, amphetamine-type stimulants and cocaine) that produces acute drug effects that are difficult to differentiate from the mental disorders and symptoms involving this study (e.g., dissociative feelings, hallucinations or paranoid ideation). - The presence of a substance/medication-induced mental disorder that shares the phenomenology of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and dissociative disorders (e.g., cannabis or alcohol induced psychotic disorder). - Severe brain damage, which prevents the participant from answering the questions and using the smartphone application properly. - Lack of fluency in Dutch - Severity of present disorders (e.g. too much anxiety or paranoid cognitive distortions), that disables the patient to contribute. - Patients that meet both the diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder ánd schizophrenia spectrum disorder (true comorbidity) will be excluded. - For ethical reasons, patients that are currently in crisis (i.e., immediate danger to oneself or others) will be excluded (e.g., acute high risk of suicide or severe self-injurious behavior, or severe aggression-control problems).
