Voice hearers' explanations of trauma ‐related voices and processes of change throughout imagery rescripting: A qualitative exploration
ConclusionsTrauma-related voices may have underlying protective functions and ImRs may support emotional expression, adaptive trauma re-appraisals and improve self-worth and coping self-efficacy. These change processes may have clinical implications in ImRs and other treatments for trauma-affected voice hearers. (Source: Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice)

When therapists talk to voices: Perspectives from service ‐users who experience auditory hallucinations

Thinking about the next generation: The case for a mentalization ‐informed approach to perinatal and intergenerational mental health
DiscussionFinally, we sketch out an outline model for integrating mentalization into perinatal and intergenerational mental health, highlighting several areas of opportunity to develop research and practice from diverse geographies and demographics. Here, we suggest that integration of mentalization with other conceptual frameworks such as DoHaD can mutually enrich the understanding of each model, pointing the way towards more effective early and preventative interventions.
