![]() We propose that hallucinations in PTSD, like those in schizophrenia, might be explained in terms of aberrant. Smith (The College of New Rochelle) gave an account of How Hallucination Got Its Name and Tanya Luhrmann (Stanford University) presented on her research regarding auditory hallucinations that involve hearing God. Hallucinations in both PTSD and schizophrenia share phenomenological features. Current literature estimates that 8 of the U.S. In this paper we first demonstrate that AVH in these two diagnoses share a qualitatively similar phenomenology. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a pathological anxiety disorder resulting after exposure to a traumatic event. Auditory hallucinations can refer to a plethora of sounds however, when the hallucinations are voices, they are distinguished as auditory verbal hallucinations. ![]() Regression analysis indicated that two scales of dissociation (derealisation/depersonalisation and loss of awareness) were equally good predictors of the extent of hearing voices. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a nosological diagnosis characterized by the presence of trauma exposure with a minimal of one month of persistent symptoms, at least one symptom from the four clusters: intrusion, avoidance, negative mood and cognitive alterations, as well as arousal and reactivity ( Gayle and Raskin, 2017 ). Auditory hallucinations, or paracusias, are sensory perceptions of hearing in the absence of an external stimulus. Auditory hallucinations and the experience of trauma attend individuals who suffer a broad variety of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Listening to the presentations of my co-panelists I was offered a rich array of diverse perspectives on auditory hallucinations and a unique opportunity to view this subject matter through the lens of colleagues who all come at this phenomenon from different angles: Diana Deutsch (University of California, San Diego) presented on Phantom Words, Musical Hallucinations, and the Speech to Song Illusion Chris Chafe (Stanford University) presented on The Acoustics of Imaginary Sound Angela Woods (Durham University) spoke on the Taxonomies of Voice-Hearing Judith Ford (University of California, San Francisco) spoke on The Phenomenology of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations and how internal experiences can sound external Daniel B. Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH: ‘hearing voices’) are found in both schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The severity of PTSD symptoms did not predict experience of hearing voices. ![]() The symposium was titled, “Hearing Voices,” and brought together an interdisciplinary panel (from the fields of music, psychology, anthropology, medical humanities and psychiatry) of researchers, scholars, and writers to examine the phenomena of auditory hallucinations. ![]()
