Title
Rufus May is a clinical psychologist/ psychiatry survivor
A short documentary by Undercurrents & Melissa Gunasena
Silencing the Voices in your Head? Alternative understandings of Hearing Voices.
Abstract
This workshop will explore alternative approaches to understanding the experience of, and working with people who, hear voices, see visions and have unusual beliefs. The workshop will draw upon research by China Mills on the experience of children and young people who hear voices; on the possibilities of understanding and locating distress within people's own frames of reference and their life history, calling for multiple ways of understanding and responding to distress; and on the concept of the 'survivor' within critical psychiatry. We will explore what it can be like to hear voices; and use stories from people who hear voices to engage with self help, coping strategies and the possibilities of recovery.
There are power point slides as well contact me if you want them.
