What is a voice? The answer is easy, especially when you see it as a psychological experience and avoid superficially interpreting it as 'psycho-pathological." In this book, Dolores Mosquera invites us to join her in a thorough and complete clinical journey reaching well beyond the psychiatric clické that labels voices simply as schizophrenic symptoms. Dolores helps us understand that, first of all, voices are the manifestation of a complex (and often painful) structure of the personality. The wise and expert use of the trauma-informed lens creates the premises for acknowledging the importance, the reasons, and the protective goals of the different parts of the self. These are often born out of traumatic experiences and raised in traumatizing environments, therefore it is common that the person will end up disowning and isolating these parts.--taken from back cover
