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

TL;DR: The findings of this study support a framework for understanding self-stigma as an experience that changes based on alterations in internal states and external circumstances.

A synthesis of evidence on inhibitory control and auditory hallucinations based on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework
TL;DR: How the RDoC framework can improve the understanding of psychopathology by zeroing in on hallucinations is examined and discussed, which yields new insights into co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems; and suggests some novel avenues for treatment.

Hallucinations and related concepts-their conceptual background.
TL;DR: The major characteristics that were associated with pseudohallucinations were “lack of objectivity” and “presence of insight” (differing from hallucinations) and Illusions are unanimously taken as distortions of real objects.

TL;DR: A clinical validation of the Beliefs about Paranoia Scale (BaPS) is reported, suggesting that a metacognitive approach to the conceptualization of paranoia as a strategy for managing interpersonal threat may have some utility for understanding clinical paranoia.

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.
