Aim: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of thought stopping therapy in improving patients’ ability to control auditory hallucinations.Method: This study employed a case study approach using a qualitative descriptive method. The implementation of thought stopping therapy was conducted after the application of generalist therapy SP1-SP4 in five sessions over three days. The Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS) instrument was used to measure the patients' hallucination levels.Result: Following the implementation of generalist therapy SP1-SP4 for hallucinations and continued with thought stopping therapy for three days, a reduction in AHRS scores was observed. The evaluation results showed that Mr. L experienced a decrease from 16 (moderate category) to 6 (mild), Mr. A from 19 (moderate) to 10 (mild), and Mr. S from 21 (moderate) to 13 (moderate approaching mild)Conclusion: The consistent implementation of generalist therapy (SP1–SP4) and thought stopping over three consecutive days in the three patients under care demonstrated effectiveness in improving their ability to control auditory hallucinations.Keywords: Auditory Hallucinations, Schizophrenia, Thought Stopping
