N2  - This small preliminary study tries to examine how strongly held beliefs associated with hallucinations relate to the association between hallucinatory frequency and associated distress. In a small sample of psychotic inpatients, results show a possible trend that hallucinations believability might predict later distress. The trends in results were also consistent with the hypothesis that hallucination believability mediated the frequency-distress link. This finding indicates cognitive behaviour therapy can be used to reduce distress in such patients. Future trials incorporating longitudinal designs and more detailed assessments of these variables are needed.
