A hallucination is a perception in the absence of external stimulus that has qualities of real perception. Hallucinations are vivid, substantial, and are perceived to be located in external objective space.

In this book, authors Andre Aleman and Frank Laroi review the latest research on the cognitive and neural bases of hallucinations and outline their unique neurobiology by drawing on evidence from brain imaging and neurotransmission studies. Detailed attention is paid to hallucination characteristics in different forms of psychosis as well as other clinical groups and conditions, such as brain damage, Charles Bonnet syndrome, dementia, and chemical substance abuse.The authors integrate the wealth of recent findings into a cohesive framework and put forward a comprehensive, multicomponent model of hallucinations. Finally, treatment of hallucinations is discussed, ranging from pharmacotherapy and cognitive therapy to transcranial magnetic stimulation. A comprehensive list of available hallucination questionnaires and scales is also included as a handy clinical assessment resource.

I found that while it provided good insight into the proposed mechanisms I would have liked to have seen a section on interpreting meaning from hallucination.

As a layman, I was interested in the science of visions, hallucinations, and trying to understand the historical descriptions of hallucinations given modern science. The authors investigate ancient and historical descriptions of visions and hallucinations, and provide current scientific explanations for this mental phenomenon. Several descriptions of hallucinations are provided and separate analysis of the various types of visions. One interesting point is that there is no historical evidence of group hallucinations. Evidently, what the followers of Jesus experienced after his death was not a hallucination. This is a good read for the professional and the layman, it is accessible, organized, and coherent. Well documented and supported this is an excellent text for anyone interested in the subject of hallucinations.
