- Auditory hallucinations
- Hearing voices conversing with one another
- Voices heard commenting on one's actions (hallucination of running commentary)
- Thought echo (a form of auditory hallucination in which the patient hears his/her thoughts spoken aloud)
- Somatic hallucinations
- Passivity experiences e.g. made volition, made feeling & made impulse (delusions of control / of being controlled)
- Thought withdrawal
- Thought insertion (thoughts are ascribed to other people who are intruding into the patient's mind)
- Thought broadcasting (also called thought diffusion)
- Delusional perception (linking a normal sensory perception to a bizarre conclusion, e.g. seeing an aeroplane means the patient is the president)

What did they change it to? Do you know?
I agree, having less of a check mark list of symptoms may be better in the long run. Everyone is different and not everyone fits into neat little boxes (we all know how I feel about boxes.

)
