"The meanings and causes of hearing voices that others cannot hear (auditory verbal
hallucinations, in psychiatric parlance) have been debated for thousands of years.
Voice-hearing has been both revered and condemned, understood as a symptom of disease
as well as a source of otherworldly communication. Those hearing voices have been
viewed as mystics, potential psychiatric patients or simply just people with unusual
experiences, and have been beatified, esteemed or accepted, as well as drugged, burnt
or gassed. This book travels from voice-hearing in the ancient world through to contemporary
experience, examining how power, politics, gender, medicine and religion have shaped
the meaning of hearing voices. Who hears voices today, what these voices are like
and their potential impact are comprehensively examined. Cutting edge neuroscience
is integrated with current psychological theories to consider what may cause voices
and the future of research in voice-hearing is explored"--Provided by publisher
