The first substantial psychiatric treatise on hallucinations, a term introduced to medical psychology only twenty years earlier by Esquirol. Believing they constitute a disease sui generis, Brierre de Boismont attempts to reclaim the subject for psychology from medical pathology. He discusses the occurrence of hallucinations in ordinary life, examines the hallucinations of dreams and nightmares and the their occurrence in animal magnetism, somnambulism, and ecstasy. The latter part of the book discusses the causes, symptomatology, and treatment. Widely read, his book influenced everyone writing about the subject after him.

Applying the realist views of Thomas Brown, "Hibbert concluded that whatever their exciting cause, apparitions, that is illusions and hallucinations, resulted from the recall of forgotten memories which being emotionally charged attained a vividness exceeding that of external sensory impressions. No feelings or ideas he maintained, were ever lost even if forgotten and could be revived into consciousness by an appropriate stimulus. … It is surprising to find so early in nineteenth century psychiatry this basic assumption of an unconscious and its relation to conscious mind" [Hunter & Macalpine].
