  • Title: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Olfactory Hallucinations and Associated Delusions: A Case Report.
    Author: Kimhy D.
    Journal: Am J Psychother; 2016; 70(1):117-23. PubMed ID: 27052609.
    Abstract:
    Olfactory hallucinations (OH) are experienced by a substantial minority of people with schizophrenia, often leading to social anxiety, depression and suffering. Yet, despite their prevalence and clinical significance, OH in schizophrenia are under-researched and poorly understood, with scarce information about potential treatments. To address this gap in the literature, the author describes a case report of successfully using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) to address OH, related delusions, as well as mood and social functioning difficulties in a male patient with schizophrenia. The results provide preliminary support for the feasibility and effectiveness of using CBTp to address OH and related delusions in individuals with schizophrenia.
