Support humane alternatives for people who hear distressing or
overwhelming voices, sounds, etc. Hearing Voices Network USA is now a
sponsor group of MindFreedom International.
The International Network for Training Education and Research into
Hearing Voices (INTERVOICE) announced:
"2007 marks the 20th year of achievement since the hearing voices
movement took its first step, when in 1987, Dutch voice hearer Patsy
Hage challenged Marius Romme, her psychiatrist, with her criticism of
his clinical approach to her voices. She pointed out that rather than
using voices only in order to make an illness diagnosis it would be
more useful if he helped her learn to cope with the experience. He
listened, acted and the rest is history. From this beginning
INTERVOICE, has grown into an international network with 14
participating countries."
