Hallucinations are often perceived as auditory and visual experiences emanating from outside the mind and it is this belief by patients that is a powerfully convincing factor in maintaining psychotic symptoms and accompanying distress. One of the main tasks of cognitive therapy for psychosis is to help the person recognize that the hallucinations emerge from within their own mind for some meaningful reason. A change in meaning can change a person's affective and behavioral responses to hallucinatory phenomena. Automatic Word Processing (AWP) hypnosis is a novel way to help a person realize that the hallucinations they perceive as external and distressful are really internally generated phenomena often based upon his or her life experiences. The case presented here illustrates how AWP hypnosis helped a 13-year-old girl access the internal material that shaped the form and content of visual and auditory hallucinations and interfered with her social and academic functioning.
幻觉常常被视为源自心灵之外的听觉和视觉体验，而正是患者的这种信念，在维持精神病症状及伴随的痛苦方面，是一个极具说服力的因素。精神病认知疗法的主要任务之一，就是帮助患者认识到幻觉是出于某些有意义的原因从他们自己的脑海中产生的。意义的改变可以改变一个人对幻觉现象的情感和行为反应。自动文字处理（AWP）催眠是一种新颖的方法，可帮助一个人认识到他们视为外部且令人痛苦的幻觉实际上往往是基于其生活经历而在内部产生的现象。这里呈现的案例说明了AWP催眠如何帮助一名13岁女孩触及塑造视觉和听觉幻觉的形式及内容并干扰其社交和学业功能的内部素材。
