The Talking With Voices Trial
The presentation will provide an overview of Talking With Voices, a recent randomised control trial which aimed to establish the feasibility and acceptability of using dialogue and psychological formulation to attempt to create a more peaceful, constructive relationship between people and their voices. The intervention’s clinical and theoretical background will be discussed, including the role of service-user involvement in mental health research, with an overview provided of future steps for developing a stronger evidence base for Talking With Voices in terms of its effectiveness for supporting distressed voice hearers.
