Clinical research in Mental Health: the pacients'point of view on the experience of hearing voices

This is a qualitative clinical research on the hearing voices experience, based on the analysis of a hearing-voices group functioning in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS). We verified that the practice of patients narratives construction about their hearing voices experiences, in a group context, provides the raise of participants engagement in coping with the challenges of the mental illness process and helping them to create alternative ways that gives support to daily life. Consequently, the group assures a proficuous way of, collectively, developing singular solutions and creating a voice-hearing network dedicated to an experience essentially characterized as not passible for being shareable.
