This study presents a model that generates novel research into the factors underlying trauma-related voices that may inform effective interventions. Maintaining factors from existing models of PTSD and positive symptoms were combined into an integrative model of trauma-related voices. Theorised relationships between factors were used to identify possible differential pathways to direct and indirect voices. An integrative, trauma-related voices (TRV) model was developed that identifies multiple causal pathways to trauma-related voices. A future research agenda is proposed to test novel hypotheses based on the integrative model.
