Overview
This DVD set is a record of two of the most stimulating and important international conferences held in recent times on the issue of hearing voices, psychosis and recovery.
In 2009 and 2010 voice hearers, mental health workers and family members from across the world met to share messages of hope and positive action. Presentations focussed on important aspects of the recovery process and discussed difficult issues such as the disease concept and the use of medication.
