Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Assessments consist of acquiring verbatim repetitions of voices, voice-related measures such as voice phenomenology, acceptance of the voices, and impact on daily functioning, and hemispheric asymmetry during language processing. These will be used to distinguish and characterise linguistic voice subtypes, to examine working mechanisms underlying these voice-types, and to assess the role of voice-type in treatment effectiveness of psychological interventions.	—
