The ICHR Special Supplement on Hallucinations for 2025 has been published in Schizophrenia Bulletin.
Guest edited by Clara Humpston and Ben Alderson-Day, this special issue reports on the ICHR working groups that presented at the 7th Biennial Meeting of the Consortium at the University of York (UK) in September 2023.
The special supplement includes a new review on the bodily self and hallucinations led by Anne Giersch, an update on cognitive-developmental mechanisms of hallucination from Charles Fernyhough and colleagues, and two papers from Tanya Luhrmann’s culture working group, focusing on voice-hearing in Thailand (lead author: Julia Cassaniti) and cross-cultural evidence for links between inner speech, absorption and hallucination (led by Eleanor Schille-Hudson).
Bryony Sheaves and Sanne Brederoo have led a team of researchers in providing a much-needed update on the relations between sleep pathology and hallucinations, while Nate Heller, Pantelis Leptourgos and colleagues have put together a fascinating report on visual hallucinations in serotonergic psychedelics and Lewy-Body disease (you can read Nate’s Psychology Today post about it here). Finally, keep an eye out for Chris Taylor and colleagues’ RCT of the iMAPS-2 Trial, a new imagery-focused therapy for psychosis.
