hallucinosis phantastica

hallucinosis phantastica:    The term Halluzinosis phantastica was introduced in or shortly before 1921 by the German psychiatrist Paul Schröder (1873-1941) to denote a symptom complex of fantastic delusions rather than hallucinations. In this context the term hallucinosis would seem to refer somewhat mis-leadingly to the observation that the delusions in question may be based on * bodily hallucinations (in addition to their occurrence in the context of regular bodily sensations such as hunger, a tooth ache, or palpitations). According to Schröder, hallucinosis phantastica would seem to occur primarily among elderly persons with a clinical diagnosis of paraphrenia (i.e. 'late-onset schizophrenia').
