What does attachment theory tell us about working with distressing voices?

Psychosis, 2016, vol. 8, issue 1, 60-71

Abstract: Drawing on attachment and dissociation literatures, we propose that disorganised internal working models and dissociative processes contribute to the development of voice-hearing. We then focus on how attachment theory can inform assessment, formulation and intervention with people with distressing voices, and as such, argue that attachment theory and its clinical implications should be a fundamental element of training and supervision for clinicians working with voice-hearers.
