Predicting compliance with command hallucinations
J Junginger
Department of Psychology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge 70803.
Of 44 patients who experienced command hallucinations, those with
hallucination-related delusions and hallucinatory voices they could
identify were more likely to comply with the commands. The danger of the
behaviors specified by the hallucinations did not appear to be a factor in
compliance.
