In this paper, we review historical perspectives on VH, exploring factors that led VH to be classified as a core symptom of schizophrenia in the late 20th century. Around the same time, an alternative paradigm emerged through the Hearing Voices Movement, which argued that VH was a variation of normal human consciousness that should be accepted and explored without stigma. Dirk Corstens, a psychiatrist working within that perspective, joined forces with Andrew Moskowitz, a clinical psychologist with experience with dissociative disorders, to publish a paper entitled \u2018Auditory Hallucinations: Psychotic Symptom or Dissociative Experience\u2019? In that seminal paper, Moskowitz and Corstens (2007) argued\u2014after reviewing research on VH in the general population, similarities in VH between clinical and non\u2010clinical populations, and the relationship between dissociation and voice hearing\u2014that VH was better understood as essentially normal and dissociative in nature, rather than pathological and psychotic. They further argued that voice hearers would benefit from dialogical approaches seeking to understand the purpose of their voices and change the voice hearer's relationship to them. Since then, research and clinical trials have strongly supported all the tenets of the 2007 paper, to the point that relational or dialogical approaches to VH are now rapidly becoming an acceptable complement or even alternative to medical treatment for hearing voices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/papt.70014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]],"date-time":"2025-10-10T11:39:06Z","timestamp":1760096346000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From psychotic perceptual aberration to dissociative part of the self: An historical and personal overview of changing perspectives on voice hearing"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9605-1683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Moskowitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University  Alexandria Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dirk","family":"Corstens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice  Alkmaar The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM\u2010III)","author":"American Psychiatric Association (APA)","year":"1980"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, revised (DSM\u2010III\u2010R)","author":"American Psychiatric Association (APA)","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM\u2010IV)","author":"American Psychiatric Association (APA)","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acp.2350060503"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291700037776"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"266","volume-title":"Studies in word\u2010association","author":"Bleuler E.","year":"1905"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","volume-title":"Dementia praecox oder die Gruppe der Schizophrenien","author":"Bleuler E.","year":"1911"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","volume-title":"Posttraumatic stress disorder: Malady or myth?","author":"Brewin C.
