Hallucinations and Delusions as Points on Continua Function: Rating Scale Evidence
Abstract
PSYCHIATRIC symptom rating scales can be used for testing and reformulating clinical concepts as well as for categorizing patients. Hallucinations and delusions are two symptoms that take on new meanings when defined more operationally for use in such scales. It is especially important to conceptualize these symptoms adequately because they are key diagnostic criteria of the psychoses, especially of schizophrenia. Even those who classify hallucinations and delusions as "secondary" tend to use these symptoms to establish the diagnosis of psychosis since they are among the easier symptoms to identify clinically. Generally hallucinations and delusions are considered to be discrete and discontinuous, a patient either has them or he does not. The notion of the discreteness of these symptoms encourages the conception of psychosis and schizophrenia as states that are also discrete and discontinuous and the further conception that patients with these diagnoses are somehow qualitatively different from other

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
