The Hearing Voices Movement is an international grassroots movement that aims to shift public and professional attitudes toward experiences-such as hearing voices and seeing visions-that are generally associated with psychosis. The Hearing Voices Movement identifies these experiences as having personal, relational, and cultural significance. Incorporating this perspective into mental health practice and policy has the potential to foster greater understanding and respect for consumers/survivors diagnosed with psychosis while opening up valuable avenues for future research. However, it is important that a focus on individual experiences of adversity not supersede attention to larger issues of social and economic injustice. Access to appropriate mental health care is a human right; this article will argue that the right to health additionally extends beyond individual-level interventions.
听声者运动是一个国际基层运动，旨在转变公众和专业人士对一般与精神病相关的体验（如幻听和幻视）的态度。听声者运动将这些体验视为具有个人、关系和文化意义。将这一视角纳入心理健康实践和政策中，有可能增进对被诊断患有精神病的消费者/幸存者的理解和尊重，同时为未来的研究开辟有价值的途径。然而，重要的是，对逆境的个体体验的关注不应取代对社会和经济不公正等更大问题的关注。获得适当的精神保健是一项人权；本文将认为，健康权还延伸到个人层面干预之外。
