Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish which qualities of auditory hallucinations are most sensitive to change during drug treatment and drug withdrawal. The authors tested 24 newly admitted hallucinating patients on drug treatment and 25 chronic hallucinating patients on drug withdrawal. Frequency, loudness, and emotional reaction were found to change significantly more often than other characteristics.
