This research investigated auditory hallucinations (AH) in a sample with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and examined dissociation and thought suppression as potential associated mechanisms. In all, 40 individuals with PTSD were assessed on the hallucinations subscale of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and on measures of dissociation and thought suppression. Half of the sample reported AH (n = 20, 50%). Those reporting AH had higher general and pathological dissociation scores but did not differ on thought suppression or PTSD symptom severity. Results suggest that (a) AH in chronic PTSD is not a rare phenomenon, (b) dissociation is significantly related to AH, and (c) dissociation may be a potential mediating mechanism for AH in PTSD.
本研究调查了慢性创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)样本中的听觉幻觉(AH),并研究了分离和思维抑制作为潜在的相关机制。共有 40 名 PTSD 患者接受了阳性和阴性症状量表幻觉子量表以及分离和思维抑制量表的评估。样本中有一半(n = 20,50%)报告了 AH。报告 AH 的患者的一般和病理性分离评分较高,但在思维抑制或 PTSD 症状严重程度上没有差异。结果表明:(a)慢性 PTSD 中的 AH 并非罕见现象;(b)分离与 AH 显著相关;(c)分离可能是 PTSD 中 AH 的潜在中介机制。
