Talking to the voices:


the revival of talk therapy for
psychosis
Talk therapy for neuroses has an enduring place in psychiatric practice but for
psychoses the mode of treatment has shifted more towards pharmacotherapy.
A bold new approach suggests that there is value in talking to the voices of
schizophrenics and other psychotic patients. What, if anything, could this
possibly achieve given that those voices seem to be merely the haphazard
products of disordered brain function?
