چکیده
Definitions Hallucinations are perceptions that have all the attributes of reality but can’t be shared. They occur in the absence of an external stimulus and are usually beyond the control of the person experiencing them (Slade & Bentall, 1988). They occur in as many ‘modalities’ as we have senses, such as • visual (visions and patterns) (Manford & Andermann, 1998) • audio (voices, music and other sounds) • olfactory (smells), gustatory (tastes) • tactile (surface ‘touching’) • somatic (in body feelings) Hallucinations sometimes occur in several modalities concurrently (Chesterman & Boast, 1994).
