Voice-hearing experiences associated with psychosis are highly
varied, frequently distressing, poorly understood, and deeply
stigmatised, even within mental health settings. Voices in
Psychosis responds to the urgent need for new ways of listening to
and making sense of these experiences. It brings multiple
disciplinary, clinical, and experiential perspectives to bear on an
original and extraordinarily rich body of testimony: transcripts of
forty in-depth phenomenological interviews conducted with people
who hear voices and who have accessed Early Intervention in
Psychosis services. The book addresses the social, clinical, and
research contexts in which the interviews took place, thoroughly
investigating the embodied, multisensory, affective, linguistic,
spatial, and relational qualities of voice-hearing experiences. The
nature, politics, and consequences of these analytic endeavours is
a focus of critical reflection throughout. Each chapter gives a
multifaceted insight into the experiences of voice-hearers in the
North East of England and to their wider resonance in contexts
ranging from medieval mysticism to Amazonian shamanism, from the
nineteenth-century novel to the twenty-first century survivor
movement. By deepening and extending our understanding of hearing
voices in psychosis in a striking way, the book will be an
invaluable resource not only for academics in the field, but for
mental health practitioners and members of the voice-hearing
community. An open access title available under the terms of a CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.
