Abstract: We comment on a recently published article in Schizophrenia Bulletin: ‘The treatment of hallucinations in schizophrenia spectrum disorders’ (Sommer et al., 2012). Contrary to the recommendations made in this piece, we suggest that, on the basis of available evidence, psychological therapies (including, but not limited to cognitive behavioural therapy) should be proposed as a treatment of choice, medication as a possible augmentation strategy, and electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation not recommended at all.
