Description
Book SynopsisPractical help for managing distressing voice hearing experiences
Have you ever heard someone talking to you, but when you turned around no one was there? Voice hearing is more common than might be expected. Many of those who experience this phenomenon won''t find it distressing, while some may find it extremely upsetting and even debilitating.
Although the causes of voice hearing are many and varied, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been found to be a highly effective treatment for distressing voices. CBT can provide a powerful and positive way of coping with distressing voices, helping people to live well, even though the voice hearing may continue.
Written by experts, this accessible self-help manual takes those affected by distressing voices on a journey of recovery and healing, based on the latest psychological research. This fully revised and updated edition includes:
Clear explanations of what distressing voices are and wha
Trade Review
A ground-breaking guide on overcoming this distressing condition
The information presented is up to date with current thinking within the clinical psychology community and research evidence, yet it is presented in an accessible way, with concepts carefully and clearly explained . . . the book would be a great resource for voice-hearers either to read independently or with professional support while participating in cognitive behavioural therapy. I will certainly be recommending it to the voice-hearers I work with and their relatives. I will also be suggesting that other mental health professionals I work with read the book - Psychosis
I have enjoyed using the book with clients and they have commented on its clarity, and particularly valued reading the real life experiences. I think this book is a great resource for people who want to start making some
changes to their voice hearing experience on their own or with the support of those close to them - Clinical Psychology Forum
