Book: Hearing voices, demonic and divine

#RCPsychIC

Respondents: hearing voices

#RCPsychIC

Conversations with God.

Does it feel like the voices that you hear have their own character?

Discontinuities

#RCPsychIC Professor Christopher C.H. Cook @cchcook

Hearing voices: Positive experiences, and comfort, also good emotionally

Conclusions: psychiatrists need to be aware that hearing voices don't always mean psychological issues

#RCPsychIC

Most research was done on Christian groups and in the west. We don't know if they occur in other religious groups - different patterns may occur but we haven't got the data on other beliefs.
