therapy has developed primarily with the aims
of promoting adaptation to voice experience, rather than
attempting to help voice hearers to reduce the occurrence
of
their voices. Early attempts to overcome sourcemonitoring
difficulties
using interventions
which
helped
people
focus
on their voices
did not progress. As neurocognitive
models of
voices extend beyond simple models
of a core source-monitoring problem, broader cognitive
targets may become viable. For example, considering the
36
relation of some voices to previous aversive events and
evidence from neuroimaging studies of involvement of
the parahippocampal gyrus during auditory hallucinations,
a significant number of voices appear to have
memory processes implicated in them. Furthermore,
there is mounting evidence that social cognition may be
important in the experience of voices,
93
and consequently
therapies emphasizing interpersonal aspects are likely to
be promising. As these mechanisms become better conceptualized
interventions
may
become clearer
