Living with Voices: 50 stories of recovery

This publication is an example of working with beneficiaries rather than researching on them. Using a collaborative approach, the authors have applied their earlier research to the collection of unique accounts of experiences of voice hearing and individuals’ pathways to recovery. The book is structured and written for both vouice hearers professionals; the amount of material is too great for traditional publication in academic journals, though a more detailed explanation of the methodology is given in the Romme and Morris paper (2013). The study provides further evidence to support our studies over a period of 25 years (e.g. Romme, M., Escher, S., 1989, Escher, Morris at al., 2004) that challenge previous assumptions about the pathological nature and treatment of voice hearing. The text has followed the same trend as previous texts of having sold in excess of 4,000 copies from its UK publisher, and thus far is also available in Dutch, Swedish and German translations.
