BARONI, Daiana Paula Milani et al. An Experience of Formation of the fisrt Hearing Voices Group in Minas Gerais. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.spe, pp. 1500-1521. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.64032.

This article aims to contribute with regard to the experience of voice hearing from the perspective of the action of The International Hearing Voices Network (Intervoice), discussed here as one of the approaches in mental health which advocates the centrality of the subject, the importance of his narrative in the process of illness and healing, as well as the role of his active positioning in the path of care. The Intervoice Movement, through the formation of groups of voices hearers all over the world, aims at creating conditions for the experience of voice hearing to be re-signified. This way, it contributes to the path of recovery through the groups and goes beyond the mentality hitherto prevailing, which establishes the voice hearing phenomenon and its secondary effects as a symptom of madness, mental disorder or mental illness. We propose, at first, to problematize some conventional mental health practices which focus almost exclusively on diagnosis and on silencing the process of voice hearing. Then we proceed to discussing the alternate proposal of the Hearing Voices Groups through the narration of the experience of creation and the actual functioning of one specific group, "Ouvi Falá", which was born from an internship in Psychology.

Keywords : voice hearing groups; mental health; recovery; intervoice.
