[Hearing voices: new paths for clinical practice and research].

This theoretical article reviews the scientific literature regarding the phenomenon of auditory hallucinations of people who are with or without a psychiatric diagnosis. Based on the conceptual model of the Disability Creation Process (Fougeyrollas et al., 1998), the authors describe the factors and mechanisms involved in this phenomenon in a systemic perspective. Finally, the authors examine future directions in intervention and research to favor the social participation of people who hear voices.
