Developing a codebook for assessing auditory hallucination complexity using mixed methods.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In recent years there has been a notable expansion of psychotherapeutic approaches to treat people experiencing auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). While many psychotherapists conceptualize voices as "dissociative parts" and apply therapeutic techniques derived from the field of dissociation, research investigating AVH from this perspective is limited. Despite the acknowledgment that voices encountered in dissociative identity disorder (DID) often exhibit high complexity and autonomy, there is a critical need for assessment tools capable of exploring voice complexity across different clinical groups. Such tools hold significant potential for aiding clinicians to identify patients who may benefit more from dissociation-based therapy approaches. This study aims to oper
