Auditory hallucination, Mental health, Psychosocial Care CenterAbstract
This article aimed to analyze hearing voices experiences in patients of a Psychosocial Care Center. In this regard, ten people were interviewed. The qualitative method was used, with content analysis. Four categories were chosen: “origin” of voices, phenomenology of voices, coping strategies, and family support. Hallucinatory experiences have emerged in contexts of violence and isolation. Topographic variables of the voices indicate possibilities of understanding the phenomenon. The movement is a basic condition to deal with the experiences. Family support is key to cope with difficulties. It is necessary to qualify the auditory hallucination as a meaningful experience, which must be respected in any intervention that intends care.
