Five cases of acute visual hallucinosis in young children have been observed within a relatively short time. The hallucinoses appeared to represent acute regressive reactions in response to overwhelming anxiety. Restitutive efforts involved the projection of a destructive parental introject, which was then perceived visually. Background factors for the choice of visual perception of the projected object are discussed.
