The recovery process with hearing voices: accepting as well as exploring their emotional background through a supported process

Psychosis, 2013, vol. 5, issue 3, 259-269

Abstract: This paper reports on the methodology, results and conclusions from a study of 50 voice-hearers’ stories of the experience of their recovery process. The original text includes full first-hand accounts and this paper provides details of questions put forward in order to analyse the information from these reports. It also discusses how these questions were derived from earlier studies. The results are presented as identifiable steps towards recovery. The conclusion accentuates evidence that assuming voice-hearing is a psychotic symptom might not be justified. The study identifies the opportunities that become available when psychiatric services recognise voice hearing as an acceptable and understandable variation of human experience.
