Hallucinations: The Science of Idiosyncratic Perception 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by André Aleman (Author), Frank Larøi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
See all formats and editions

Hearing voices when nobody speaks or seeing objects no one else sees—hallucinations are intriguing phenomena that have puzzled clinicians, researchers, and lay people alike for centuries.

In this book, the authors review the latest research on the cognitive and neural bases of hallucinations and outline their unique neurobiology by drawing on evidence from brain imaging and neurotransmission studies. Hallucination characteristics in different forms of psychosis, as well as other clinical groups and conditions, such as brain damage, Charles Bonnet syndrome, dementia, and chemical substance abuse receive detailed attention.

The authors integrate the wealth of recent findings into a cohesive framework and put forward a comprehensive, multicomponent model of hallucinations. They also discuss the treatment of hallucinations, ranging from pharmacotherapy and cognitive therapy to transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The book includes a comprehensive list of available hallucination questionnaires and scales as a handy clinical assessment resource.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hallucinations brought into focus

    This book brings together a lot of the current information about hallucinations, historical information through the most up to date brain imaging and chemical interactions. Written with a broad audience in mind, it refers the reader to more detailed scources while outlining the various approaches to understanding hallucinations.
    I found that while it provided good insight into the proposed mechanisms I would have liked to have seen a section on interpreting meaning from hallucination.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hallucinations: the facts, the science, and the inferences
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    As a layman, I was interested in the science of visions, hallucinations, and trying to understand the historical descriptions of hallucinations given modern science. The authors investigate ancient and historical descriptions of visions and hallucinations, and provide current scientific explanations for this mental phenomenon. Several descriptions of hallucinations are provided and separate analysis of the various types of visions. One interesting point is that there is no historical evidence of group hallucinations. Evidently, what the followers of Jesus experienced after his death was not a hallucination. This is a good read for the professional and the layman, it is accessible, organized, and coherent. Well documented and supported this is an excellent text for anyone interested in the subject of hallucinations.

    This is an effective introduction to research the neuroscience of hallucinations. I have used it with great effect to support my classes on the neuroscience of mental health. I found other texts by Aleman also very useful.
