In this paper we present the cognitive approach to hallucinations and delusions, the main symptoms of psychosis. This view is based on normalising and it focuses on distortions of thought and conclusions in the explanation of symptoms. We also discuss various cognitive behaviour therapy techniques frequently used in psychosis. The effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy in this field has been proved by many controlled studies.
