Earlier this month the Institute for Medical Humanities hosted a book launch celebrating the publication of Voices in Psychosis: Interdisciplinary Perspectives edited by Angela Woods, Ben Alderson-Day and Charles Fernyhough.

Voices in Psychosis brings different disciplinary, clinical and experiential perspectives to bear on an extraordinarily rich body of testimony: transcripts of forty interviews with people who hear voices and who have accessed Early Intervention in Psychosis services in the North East of England.

All 28 essays in the collection are written by members or close associates of Hearing the Voice – our interdisciplinary research project on voice-hearing (2012–2022).

The launch event included reflections on the collected essays from Rai Waddingham (voice-hearer, researcher and Chair of the English Hearing Voices Network), Vaughan Bell (University College London, South London and Maudsley NHS Trust) and Felicity Callard (University of Glasgow).

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate.
