Interviews with voice hearers in Cambodia
Updated 06/02/2010
In 2005 Jane Taylor interviewed voice hearers in a hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia using the Maastricht Interview Schedule
Jane, with the assistance of Mervyn Morris and the Maastricht Interview schedule, conducted interviews at the psychiatric hospital in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia, (where the mental health professionals are trained in your approach and run weekly hearing voices groups.)
Jane also conducted interviews with traditional healers in Cambodia, who use hearing voices as a positive tool of their trade. She wrote up my research findings as part of her MA dissertation for an MA in Existential Psychotherapy.
In the papers the research results and the actual interviews that I conducted at the psychiatric hospital in Cambodia are available for study.
You can read the completed interviews and Jane's observations here

Hi my name is Yvonne I live in Utah and I hear voices. I really need a support group. Thank you for letting me join this forum. I want to know how to best deal with being a voice hearer. I hear voices 24 hours a day. I have been under this electronic survellience or V2K (voice to skull) now for 8 years now. I despise the electromagnetic energy useage. It's very painful and unneccessary in my opinion. The voices I hear have never told me to do anything bad. They can be very sincere and kind. Even though this noise this drilling in my head is annoying as hell. The noise level gets so loud that I have a hard time focusing some times. I want to keep being kind and respectful to these guys even though noone deserves the pressure I go through. However trying to carry on working two jobs and listening to voices at the same time that I am dealing with the public is nearly impossible sometimes.
