Our aim is not to get rid of the voices, but to make their relationship with the voice-hearer more equal through helping the person take back control.

Many people who hear challenging voices have found that a turning point in coping with the experience is finding different ways of talking with and understanding them. In this ground breaking DVD Dirk Corstens explores both the theory and practice of voice dialoguing techniques. This DVD will provide a step by step guide for voice hearers and workers to constructively help change the relationship between the voice-hearer and their voices.

Since 1992, Dirk has been a collaborator in the Hearing Voices Project of Marius Romme and Sandra Escher. He developed the recovery programme, ‘Talking with Voices’. He delivers courses with Ron Coleman and Eleanor Longden on ‘Working and talking with voices’.
