Psychiatric diseases resulting from occult practices or spiritualist influences have long been known Henneberg in 1919 first described independent forms concelved as having a psychological genesis as "mediumistic psychoses". The continued importance of these disorders and the difficulties in their typological classification are illustrated by reference to a patient of our own who had pronounced auditory hallucinations.
