Product Description
Product Description
Although hearing voices is often considered a hallmark of madness it is actually a rather common experience. While voices are a prominent symptom of psychotic disorders like schizophrenia they can, also, occur in many other contexts. Many well-adjusted individuals have had at least one memorable voice experience and some people have them regularly. While some experiences are disturbing, others provide comfort, reassurance and guidance. Benign inner voices often occur in association with non-ordinary states of consciousness, mystical and paranormal phenomena, near-death experiences and shamanic practices and may serve as a vehicle for creative inspiration, extrasensory communication, the call of vocation and spiritual revelation. HEARING VOICES ventures beyond conventional psychiatric therapies whose sole aim is symptom eradication to explore ways of working creatively with voices and other inner experiences to foster personal growth, healing and recovery. Included is: - A detailed description of a wide variety of voice hearing experiences - An overview of the theories accounting for how and why this happens - A range of practical techniques for coping with voices - Guidelines for applying spiritual discernment to hearing voices - Strategies for optimising the personal value of voice hearing experiences

This is an extremely helpful well written book. It covers everything you could possibly wish to know about this subject. If you are hearing voices, or having intrusive thoughts, this is the book for you. Personally, I found it to be the turning point for me in coming to terms with this phenomenon. Highly recommended.

An excellent broad view of hearing voices
28 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son deals with schizophrenia and hears voices. Although his voices are connected with a mental illness, because of this book and others, I can see that hearing voices alone doesn't mean that a person is mentally ill. It's an interesting perspective to question if the mental illness causes the voices or the other way around. I find especially useful the chapters about strategies to deal with voices and living with voices. Anyone who hears voices or knows someone who does should read this book.
