#775 Charles Fernyhough: Inner Speech, Imaginary Companions, and Auditory Hallucinations
The Dissenter
The Different Types of Hallucinations
In psychosis, it's most common to have them in the auditory modality. Multi-modal hallucinations is one where there's different ways of understanding it. It also seems that these multi-modal ones can be more distressing.

Dr. Charles Fernyhough is a Professor of Psychology at Durham University, and Director of the Centre for Research into Inner Experience. He has contributed to the understanding of how language and thought are related in child development and beyond. The focus of his recent scientific work has been in applying ideas from mainstream developmental psychology to the study of psychosis, particularly the phenomenon of voice-hearing.
In this episode, we talk about inner speech, imaginary companions, and hallucinations. We start with inner speech, how it develops in children, its connection to language, its functions, its neuroscience, and rumination. We then talk about imaginary companions, why children have them, how they influence how they think about their real-life friends, and their link to inner speech. We also discuss auditory verbal hallucinations, their neuroscience (with a focus on resting state networks and the default mode network); how people sometimes personalize the voices they hear; musical hallucinations; and multimodal hallucinations. Finally, we discuss how to think about distinguishing clinical from non-clinical conditions.
