Effects of Social Disruption, Stimulus Interference, and Aversive Conditioning on Auditory Hallucinations

Abstract
The effects of social disruption (talking with another individual), interference from a loud bell, and faradic aversion in suppressing auditory hallucinations were examined in a single case experimental design. Verbal exchange with another individual and contingent bell ringing produced only temporary results. However, faradic aversion appeared to produce more lasting results. The effects of treatment were maintained at 20- and 25-week follow-ups.
