A dialogical model reframes verbal hallucinations as inner speech, enabling dialogue with distressing voices. This approach fosters self-esteem and effective management of auditory hallucinations.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Verbal hallucinations are often experienced as intrusive inner speech.
  • Current therapeutic models may not fully address the dialogical nature of these experiences.

Observation:

  • A case study explored a dialogical model for managing verbal hallucinations.
  • The model conceptualizes hallucinations as inner speech with dialogical properties.
  • Personal narrative explication facilitated engagement with the voices.

Findings:

  • A new, supportive inner voice emerged, mediating dialogue with distressing hallucinations.
  • This dialogical engagement enabled moral responses to imperative hallucinations.
  • The process improved the individual's ability to manage troublesome voices and boosted self-esteem.
