Please note this training will be held over 2 consecutive weeks.

Maastricht Interview

The Maastricht Interview was developed by Professor Marius Romme and Sandra Escher for research purposes and revised for use in clinical and community settings when working with voice hearers. The questionaire explores the voice hearing experience at length and can assist voice hearers in a number of important ways.

-It can help voice hearers overcome the shame and stigma of talking about the voices and encourages them to describe their experiences.
- It is also a means of systematically mapping all aspects of the voices to gain more insight in the total history of the voice hearing experience. This will support voice hearers to gain insight into the meaning and function of the voices in their lives.
- By creating a better understanding of the voice hearing experience it can alleviate distress, increase coping and support long term recovery outcomes for the voice hearer.
