Much of the research on visual hallucinations (VHs) has been conducted in the context of eye disease and neurodegenerative conditions, but little is known about these phenomena in psychiatric and nonclinical populations. The purpose of this article is to bring together current knowledge regarding VHs in the psychosis phenotype and contrast this data with the literature drawn from neurodegenerative disorders and eye disease. The evidence challenges the traditional views that VHs are atypical or uncommon in psychosis. The weighted mean for VHs is 27% in schizophrenia, 15% in affective psychosis, and 7.3% in the general community. VHs are linked to a more severe psychopathological profile and less favorable outcome in psychosis and neurodegenerative conditions. VHs typically co-occur with auditory hallucinations, suggesting a common etiological cause. VHs in psychosis are also remarkably complex, negative in content, and are interpreted to have personal relevance. The cognitive mechanisms of VHs in psychosis have rarely been investigated, but existing studies point to source-monitoring deficits and distortions in top-down mechanisms, although evidence for visual processing deficits, which feature strongly in the organic literature, is lacking. Brain imaging studies point to the activation of visual cortex during hallucinations on a background of structural and connectivity changes within wider brain networks. The relationship between VHs in psychosis, eye disease, and neurodegeneration remains unclear, although the pattern of similarities and differences described in this review suggests that comparative studies may have potentially important clinical and theoretical implications.

“…Speaking to another person has been noted to have a specific effect on reducing auditory hallucinations (Alford & Turner, 1976;Rosenthal & Quinn, 1977;Slade, 1974;Turner et al 1977). In addition, sub-vocal speech with concomitant movements of vocal musculature has been associated with 'voices' (Erickson & Gustafson, 1968;Gould, 1948;Inouye & Shimizu, 1970;McGuigan, 1966).…”

“…A further series of case reports suggests that distraction, such as engaging the patient in a conversation, results in temporary reduction in auditory hallucinations (Alford & Turner, 1976;Turner et al 1977). Rosenthal & Quinn (1977) describe tape recording a message to the therapist as well as writing notes as useful self-control strategies. Slade (1974) effectively employed similar information processing tasks to reduce auditory hallucinations.…”

Persistent auditory hallucinations: coping mechanisms and implications for management

1981

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SynopsisThe strategies used by 40 chronic schizophrenic out-patients with persistent auditory hallucinations to cope with the intrusive phenomena were explored. Frequent coping mechanisms included changes in activity, interpersonal contact, manipulations of physiological arousal, and attentional control. A high risk of suicide was noted.Coping behaviour appeared somewhat independent of clinical and sociodemographic variables. Successful coping appeared to result from systematic application of widely used coping strategies. The implications for the clinical management of patients with persistent auditory hallucinations are discussed.

“…In a recent detailed longitudinal study of monozygous quadruplets concordant for schizophrenia, over a 20-year period, Rosenthal and Quinn (1977) draw attention to the fact that the clinical condition of all 4 patients varied appreciably and strikingly over time and that active features of the schizophrenic illness such as hallucina tions fluctuated not only from day to day but within a given day. A recent study of variability in 92 schizophrenic patients over a 10-year period has revealed that both acute and chronic schizophrenic patients periodically undergo acute exacerbations and that these shifts in the symptomatic profile represent significant tran sient variations in the clinical condition.…”

Catastrophe Theory: a Model Interaction between Neurochemical and Environmental Influences in the Control of Schizophrenia

Catastrophe theory is a new mathematical technique relating variables in a novel, discontinuous way. It suggests ways in which neurochemical and environmental influences could interact so that very small changes in either variable may produce rapid changes in intensity of psychosis that are characteristic of schizophrenia. Other behavioural and pharmacological characteristics of schizophrenia previously considered paradoxical may be similarly explicable, and the model predicts factors most likely to generate relapse.
