Scales to measure dimensions of hallucinations and delusions: the psychotic symptom rating scales (PSYRATS).
TLDR
It is concluded that the PSYRATS are useful assessment instruments and can complement existing measures and have excellent inter-rater reliability.Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Scales to measure the severity of different dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions are few. Biochemical and psychological treatments target dimensions of symptoms and valid and reliable measures are necessary to measure these. METHOD: The inter-rater reliability and validity of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS: auditory hallucination subscale and delusions subscale), which measure several dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions were examined in this study. RESULTS: The two scales were found to have excellent inter-rater reliability. Their validity as compared with the KGV scale (Krawiecka et al. 1977) was explored. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the PSYRATS are useful assessment instruments and can complement existing measures.read more

The Subjective Present and Its Modulation in Clinical Contexts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated auditory perceptual grouping in schizophrenia patients, finding that perceptual grouping (binding, Gestalt formation) did not distinguish between patients and healthy controls, but patients did integrate context less into perceptions, in significant contrast to controls.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the MSCEIT-TC is reliable and valid when assessing EI and can be used for emotional studies in healthy Chinese and in clinical setting for investigating schizophrenic individuals.

Exacerbation of auditory verbal hallucinations with adjunctive high-frequency cerebellar vermal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in schizophrenia: a case report.
TL;DR: It is proposed that cerebellar vermal rTMS modulates neuronal networks, causing activation in temporoparietal areas, which results in worsening of auditory verbal hallucinations in treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS): rationale and standardisation.
TL;DR: It is proposed that two distinct syndromes can be discerned from the phenomenological profiles, and the positive syndrome represents productive features superadded to the mental status and the negative syndrome represents absence of normal functions.

TL;DR: It is shown that highly disparate relationships with voices-fear, reassurance, engagement and resistance-reflect vital differences in beliefs about the voices, and how these core beliefs about voices may become a new target for treatment.
