The experience of 'hearing voices' has been attributed to the divine and the demonic, to a broken brain and faulty genes, and to an ominous sign of mental illness. Yet there is an alternative account - generated by people who hear voices themselves. This book considers neuroscience, genetics, religion, history, politics, responses to trauma, and not least the first-hand experiences of many voice hearers. Challenging established and seemingly contradictory interpretations of this phenomenon, the author argues that when we focus on evidence rather than ideology, we must allow for multiple causes and meanings of this experience.
