F123. BELIEFS ABOUT THEIR VOICES AND DEGREE OF RESILIENCE IN PERSONS WITH AUDITORY VERBAL HALLUCINATIONS WITH AND WITHOUT NEED FOR CARE

摘要

BackgroundAuditory Verbal Hallucinations (AVH) are prevalent in many psychopathologies but are also experienced by a minority of the healthy general population. There is cumulative evidence that the beliefs people hold about their voices (e.g., power) are strongly related to the impact of the voices (e.g., depression, anxiety) and to the coping strategies that they adopt (e.g., resistance, engagement). To date, research on resilience has identified many factors that promote wellbeing and that protect people from developing psychopathologies despite exposure to health or psychological adversities. However, no previous studies have examined resilience in people who experience AVH with and without need for care, and neither have the relations between resilience and beliefs about the voices been examined.
