In 'The Voices Within', psychologist Charles Fernyhough (shortlisted for the Royal Society Prize) draws on extensive original research and a wealth of cultural touchpoints to reveal the workings of our inner voices, and how they link to creativity and development. From Virginia Woolf to the modern Hearing Voices Movement, Fernyhough also transforms our understanding of voice-hearers past and present.
Building on the latest theories, including the new 'dialogic thinking' model, and employing state-of-the-art neuroimaging and other ground-breaking research techniques, Fernyhough has written an authoritative and engaging guide to the voices in our heads.
Published to coincide with 'This is a Voice', a Wellcome Collection exhibition exploring all aspects of the human voice and its complex psychological and physiological origins.
