Abstract
A 38 year old patient with auditory hallucinations was treated with a brief cognitive-behavioural intervention without concurrent medication . This intervention was based upon the theory of Bentall (1990a, b) an d the methods of Haddock, Bentall and Slade (1993). The patient's rati ngs for frequency of hallucinations and distress caused were significa ntly reduced at end of treatment, and her belief in the reality of the se voices was correspondingly diminished. These gains were maintained at one and three month follow-up.
