Abstract

Objectives

Extensive research has shown voice hearing to be associated with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and dissociation. However, most studies have adopted a quantitative design, using cross-sectional data sampling methods, precluding temporal relationships between variables from being defined.

Design

Using a qualitative design, this study sought to identify potential symptom relationships by addressing the research question: what is the nature of the temporal relationship between voices, dissociation and PTSD symptoms?

Methods

Seven voice hearers (aged 27 to 68 years) participated in a semi-structured interview exploring voice hearing, PTSD symptoms, and dissociation. The interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.

Results

One superordinate theme was identified in the data. Voices were observed to occur in dynamic interrelationship with PTSD symptoms and dissociation, and were frequently experienced before and after PTSD symptoms and dissociative episodes.

Conclusions

Implications for theoretical understandings of voice hearing and future research are discussed.

探索声音、分离和创伤后应激障碍症状之间的关系。

目的：广泛的研究表明，语音听力与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和分离症状有关。然而，大多数研究都采用了定量设计，使用横断面数据采样方法，排除了变量之间的时间关系的定义。设计：本研究采用定性设计，试图通过解决研究问题来确定潜在的症状关系：声音、分离和创伤后应激障碍症状之间的时间关系的性质是什么？方法：7名受试者（年龄27至68岁）年）参加了一次半结构化访谈，探讨了语音听力、创伤后应激障碍症状和分离。访谈采用解释现象学分析法进行分析。结果：数据中确定了一个上级主题。观察到声音与创伤后应激障碍症状和解离有动态相互关系，并且在创伤后应激症状和解离发作前后经常出现。结论：对语音听觉的理论理解和未来的研究有一定的启示。

期刊介绍： Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory Research and Practice (formerly The British Journal of Medical Psychology) is an international scientific journal with a focus on the psychological and social processes that underlie the development and improvement of psychological problems and mental wellbeing, including: theoretical and research development in the understanding of cognitive and emotional factors in psychological problems; behaviour and relationships; vulnerability to, adjustment to, assessment of, and recovery (assisted or otherwise) from psychological distresses; psychological therapies with a focus on understanding the processes which affect outcomes where mental health is concerned.
