This is a jargon-free, user-friendly resource for voice-hearers and their carers, as well as the clinicians and groups who support them both. It offers a new and practical way of looking at voice-hearing as well as a host of practical strategies to assist in recovery.
The resource is built around three core sections. Each of the sections speaks directly to voice-hearers, clinicians and carers, in turn. The style and content addresses each group's individual needs in terms appropriate to them and schools them in how to deal with voices from their particular perspective. The core aim is to provide these three groups with practical techniques they can use on a daily basis.
On the Frontline with Voices offers a proactive, practical and client-centred framework that is designed to reduce anxiety and increase the likelihood of learning new ways to deal with voices.
"The book incorporates recent and novel additions to theory and practice in the treatment of auditory hallucinations by focusing on the interpersonal relationship between voice hearer and the voices, in particular encouraging use of ÔdialogueÕ to establish a more empowered and compassionate relationship with voices. This more experiential/ interpersonal approach is in my view a strength of this resource."
