N2 - Pixley (this issue, pp. 382-392) reviews and discusses the way psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories address hallucinations, noting the possible limitations of these theories. In this commentary, I suggest that there are challenges in addressing hallucinations that are beyond any particular approach of psychotherapy, and that exploring the personal meaning of hallucinations is accordingly important. In addition, I will suggest that cognitive models, as well as narrative approaches to insight in psychosis, provide frameworks for the exploration and interpretations of the hallucinatory experience.
