HI Anna
Thank you for your message and my sincere apologies for taking so long to reply. I have recently been working outside of the UK and have been unable to get back to you. your research sounds really interesting
If you still need it I think the best way to get the information you require would be to contact INTERVOICE, they have a research committee headed by Dr . Dirk Corstens, a psychiatrist from the Netherlands, who I am sure would be very interested to hear of your research. They also have a list of groups, although i’m not sure if it indicates where the groups operate from. There are hearing voices groups operated by health services, but how many and where they are I can’t say for sure, although many of the groups running in Denmark and Norway are run by state services and i’m sure this is the case in he UK too. You can get further information by visiting the INTERVOICE website http://www.intervoiceonline.org and going to the Research section.
If you write to me at ron@workingtorecovery.couk I would be happy to discuss this with you further and if possible would like to see he review too.
all he best
