Abstract: In this thesis, the term 'consumer' is used to refer to a person who has a diagnosis of mental illness (Grey & O'Hagan 2015) and used a mental health service.The term arose during the 1970s from the international rights movement for expsychiatric patients (Epstein 2013;McLean 1995).Whilst not all people with first-hand experience of a diagnosis of mental illness support the use of the term 'consumer', it is adopted in this thesis in recognition of their right to empowerment and quality mental health services and care.HVM: Hearing Voices Movement.A world-wide approach to voice-hearing, developed in response to the limitations of traditional psychiatric approaches.Voices are viewed as real and meaningful, and the subjective experiences of living with voices are valued.Voice-hearer: A person who hears voices and sounds that others do not hear.VHS: Voice-hearing Simulation.This is an educational approach that uses recordings, made by consumers, of simulated voices and other sounds, whilst the listener undertakes scheduled activities.
