What is the theory behind this CBT for voices worksheet?
Auditory hallucinations are the sensory perceptions of hearing noises that are not based on the real sources from the outside. Rather this is a symptom of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy CBT aims to enhance daily functioning of the individuals having the symptoms of psychosis such as hallucinations, negative symptoms, thought disturbances, and delusions.
