Hearing Voices Maastricht

The Maastricht Approach

Hearing Voices Maastricht is an initiative focused on providing resources and support for individuals who hear voices, as well as for professionals working with voice hearers. This initiative is grounded in a recovery-oriented approach, emphasizing respect, understanding, and acceptance of the voice-hearing experience.

Dirk Corstens, along with collaborators such as Marius Romme and Sandra Escher, has been instrumental in developing methodologies that empower individuals to manage and make sense of their experiences.

Range of Courses on Hearing Voices

The courses offered cover various aspects of voice-hearing and cater to both voice hearers and professionals. These workshops are designed to foster a supportive environment where participants can engage in open dialogue, practice methodologies for understanding voices, and explore the connections between voice-hearing and personal history. The course structure generally spans over three days and includes the following components:

  • The Maastricht Hearing Voices Interview
  • Developing a recovery-oriented treatment plan
  • Strategies for talking with voices and other interventions

Peer-supported Open Dialogue (POD)

The Open Dialogue courses provided through Hearing Voices Maastricht emphasize peer-supported Open Dialogue practices. These sessions, facilitated by professionals and experienced voice hearers, focus on social network conversations and collaborative problem-solving. The approach integrates the lived experiences of facilitators to enhance dialogue and provide valuable insights to participants. These courses aim to foster multi-perspective understanding and shared decision-making, promoting recovery and resilience among voice hearers.
