Extract

The study of miniature hallucinations has been, in the main, the work of French psychiatrists, notably M. Leroy, who gave them the name “Lilliputian Hallucinations” (1), (2), (3), (4). A communication from M. Leroy on this subject was read at the Spring Meeting of the S.E. Division of the Medico-Psychological Association in 1922, and a report on this was published in the Journal of Mental Science (5).
