Abstract

Cases of autoscopic hallucinations (3) occurring in focal organic disease of the brain are presented and their contrasting features discussed. It is tentatively suggested that autoscopic hallucinations (whatever the precipitating organic focal factor) occur only amongst a group of subjects with a highly developed visual memory sense of their corporal being.
