“…CBTp, as the most widely accepted psychotherapeutic intervention, continues to conceptualize voices as being linked to thinking and emotion regulation errors, underlying pathology, and an emphasis on the therapist as leading the way (Smith et al . ). In contrast, while sharing the ideas of coping strategy improvement, normalization and acceptance to a point, EFC seeks to emphasize the expertise of the voice hearer and the voices and ultimately understands voices to be meaningful within the person's, often traumatic, life context (Romme & Escher ) and therefore as non‐pathological.…”

A pathologizing paradigm to making sense of experiences such as hearing voices and schizophrenia remains dominant within mental health service provision. However, a real biological basis to the aetiology of hearing voices, and similar phenomena remains elusive. Antipsychotic medication, as the mainstay of the biological model, has not only been shown to have serious side effects, but is widely acknowledged as being of clinical benefit only to a limited number of people. In contrast, the Recovery Movement, and in particular the Hearing Voices Movement, have suggested that a normal life is possible despite having the experience of hearing voices. At its heart is the notion that it is possible to make sense of voices within the person's life context and to learn to live with them. Interestingly, it would seem that this approach remains largely confined to the user movement. This may in part be the result of the lack of widely accepted quantifiable and qualitative research in this area supporting such a stance. This review focuses on the current evidence base for the individual approach of the Hearing Voices Movement, which is known as Experience Focused Counselling or Making Sense of Voices. Future directions for research are indicated.

Novel strategies are needed in the treatment of hallucinations as a subgroup of patients with pathological hallucinations (>30%) do not respond to antipsychotics or are not compliant with medication. We review recently developed biological and cognitive treatments. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation concerns neuromodulation targeted at aberrant activity in regions shown to be hyperactive in neuroimaging studies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has been shown to reduce auditory hallucinations in several studies. However, not all studies have confirmed such effects, and a number of questions remain. With regard to cognitive therapeutic approaches, new proposals include attention training, acceptance and commitment therapy, and competitive memory training. After a brief discussion of these approaches, we take stock of recent advances and discuss avenues for future research.
