Abstract: The concept of pseudohallucinations is investigated systematically and historically with regard to its content. Its ambiguity (different authors have different concepts) as weil as its vagueness (the explication of its meaning leads to contradictions) are shown. Therefore, we propose to drop the concept of pseudohallucinations for clinical practice. Less ambiguous terms should be used or facts previously termed "pseudohallucinations" should be described without using a superior general term.

Confusions about ‘Inner’ and ‘Outer’ Voices: Conceptual Problems in the Study of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the distinction between inner and outer voices is ambiguous between different readings, and that lack of disambiguation in this regard has led to flaws in assessment tools, diagnostic debates and empirical studies.
Grief hallucinations: true or pseudo? Serious or not? An inquiry into psychopathological and clinical features of a common phenomenon.
TL;DR: An inquiry into the psychopathology and the clinical significance of grief hallucinations is presented and two cases with severe grief hallucinations are described and the extremely vague concept of pseudohallucinations appears to be of questionable value and should be abandoned.

TL;DR: Although its basic orientation seems to be similar to that of the first edition, the plethora of new subjects that require attention made this new book a necessity, and the authors hope that this book will be an organizing statement for the multitude of relevant variables and an initial approach to a complex model.

“Inner Voices”: Phenomenological and Clinical Aspects
TL;DR: The experience of hearing a "voice" or "loud thoughts" within the head or some other part of the body is not infrequently reported by psychiatric patients as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that these phenomena superficially resemble the schizophrenic experience of "thoughts becoming audible" but that distinction is possible on phenomenological grounds.
