Description
Igor Pietkiewicz, Radosław Tomalski, and Anna Hełka published a 2024 study building a codebook for how complex a heard voice can be. More therapy approaches now treat heard voices as split-off parts of the self. That view comes from therapy for dissociative disorders. Voices in those disorders are rich and autonomous, but no tool could grade voice complexity across groups.
The team used a concept mapping method. Twelve health professionals and two voice-hearers brainstormed ideas on what makes a voice complex. A wider clinical group then sorted and rated the ideas. Seven dimensions of complexity came out. They cover how the network of voices is built, what a voice says, what it wants, and how it interacts with the hearer. They add the voice's own life, its influence, and its vocal marks. The codebook pairs each dimension with indicators at set levels.
