Abstract
This paper summarizes a recently developed model for understanding the genesis of visual hallucinations, shows how this can be incorporated into a cognitive behavioural framework, and then illustrates possible ways in which this may be used to successfully treat the emotional distress that some older people experience as a consequence of their hallucinations. These ideas have been developed as a model-based clinical response to patients distressed by their hallucinations. The purpose of this paper is to outline this approach in order to stimulate discussion and empirical evaluation.
