Voices & Thoughts in psychosis


Our post-doctoral researchers Dr Ben Alderson-Day and Dr Sam Wilkinson write:

Over the past 18 months Hearing The Voice have been curating a special issue of the Review of Philosophy and Psychology on “Voices and Thoughts in Psychosis”. Although the print edition will not be out until sometime next year, each of the papers are now available online, including our Editorial that introduces the issue.

The focus for the special issue was on the relationship between hearing voices and having thoughts that do not feel like your own – experiences sometimes known as “inserted thoughts”. Although thought insertion is less common than voice-hearing, it seems to occur in a sizeable minority of people who hear voices. This has led some people to suggest that they might share similar causes or involve similar processes. On the other hand, there must be something different about each experience that prompts their description as “voices” or “thoughts” – raising key questions like how we recognise our own thoughts, and whether voices always have to involve sounds.

To read more about the topic, have a look at the Editorial and the collected issue articles below. Please note that because the articles come from lots of different research groups, only some are available to read freely online, but many of the authors will be willing to share their papers if you get in touch with them directly.
