Abstract

The treatment of hallucinations rests basically on psychoeducation, psychosocial interventions, psychotherapy, medication, and a number of additional somatic therapies. The present chapter will focus on medication and electroconvulsive treatment (ECT), whereas other types of treatment will be discussed elsewhere in this book. We will offer recommendations for the pharmacological and electroconvulsive treatment of hallucinations in psychotic disorders, Parkinson's disease, dementia, delirium, epilepsy, and sensory impairment, although the main focus will be on psychosis.
