dc.description.abstract | Hearing voices can be distressing, but for some services users the experience may be supportive. Joanne Harrison and colleagues consider whether nurses’ attitudes towards service users who hear voices can at times be disempowering and unhelpful An important issue in terms of hearing voices is whether nurses should help voice hearers to have a dialogue with, and some control over, their voices. This means accepting that the voices are real. But acceptance of illness may lead to negative self-appraisal and feelings of depression and hopelessness (Birchwood et al 2000). | |
