Recent therapeutic approaches to auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) exploit the person-like qualities of voices. Little is known, however, about how, why, and when AVH become personified.

Distressing mental images affect around 3 in 4 people with psychosis.
They can feel vivid, emotional, and overwhelming, yet are rarely addressed in therapy.
The iMAPS-2 trial tested a therapy focused on these images and their link to negative beliefs.

Hi all!👋 This year, my sabbatical will focus on learning more about the brain, esp. neural mechanisms behind social theory of mind & affect. This includes its breakdowns, e.g. psychosis, hallucinations and delusions related to ToM. I'll be posting what I learn along the way. Thanks for connecting! ☺️
