“…Leonard, 2002). Indirect support for the PFH also comes from evidence that most facets of adult paranormality are associated with trauma-induced pathological dissociation (for reviews, see Dein, 2012; French & Stone, 2014; Irwin, 2009). Finally, paranormal belief has also been strongly associated with more frequent house moves during childhood (Lawrence et al., 1995), the implication being that such beliefs evolve as a response to early domestic instability rather than “active” child maltreatment.…”

“…In terms of AEs specifically, this could be achieved by therapists, services, and training organisations having adequate and reliable information about AEs and the potential link with mental health (Dein, 2012), including research findings and case studies, but also peer-facilitated support groups for AEs, such as those set up by the hearing voice network (HVN) for individuals who hear voices.…”
