Abstract
A newly-designed simulation of auditory hallucinations was evaluated as a future training tool for clinicians. Trainee and qualified clinical psychologists (N=25) experienced the simulation. They reported significant increases in subjective understanding of auditory hallucinations, compassion and comfort towards people who hear voices, and benefits to their training and clinical practice.
