Extract

The study of the form and content of hallucinations remains a fascinating and intriguing one to all who are interested in psychopathology. In our present state of knowledge it provides the basis for experimental approaches to the aetiology of hallucinations. This paper is a brief review of the relationship between experimental and phenomenological approaches to the problem of hallucinations associated with organic cerebral lesions.
