The psychology of hallucinations has been viewed as an "etiopathogenetic" tool for the diagnosis of schizophrenia (Schizophrenia Bulletin, Vol. 5, No. 4, 1979). This phenomenological misrepresentation is criticized as possibly damaging for both the schizophrenic and the drug abuser. The need to accept the often chronic course of schizophrenia as an organic disease is discussed.
