hearing.
The Hearing Voices Network -

- this
organisation supports voice hearers and campaigns for
their rights. In particular they dislike the term
'schizophrenia'. Some members of the organisation
suggest that it is useful to understand and engage in
dialogue with the voices. Although our model does not
support this view, we greatly respect the work this
organisation is doing to support voice hearers and to
challenge prejudice and conventional perspectives in
mental health.

The
Royal College of Psychiatrists - http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinformation/mentalhealthproblems/schizophrenia/schizophrenia.aspx
- this gives
a good overview of the range of symptoms associated with
schizophrenia and a summary of medication often
prescribed. In our view, it does not yet reflect more
recent research that points to prenatal trauma as being
primary in the hearing voices problem.
