Abstract
Hallucinatory-delusional verbalizations in a 40-year-old schizophrentic female were temporarily reduced by social interference and by self-control instructions. When instructed to self-control or not as she elected, the patient continued to emit a high frequency of hallucinatory-delusional verbalizations. During these phases of treatment no change in target behaviors was observed in the patient's behavior on the ward. Following two verbal therapy sessions in which attempts were made to change the hypothetical intrinsic valence of the hallucinatory-delusional behavior from positive to negative, a marked deceleration of these target behaviors occurred.Keywords
