The Atlantic reported on similar research in 2014. The article from The Atlantic is titled "Learning to Live with the Voices in Your Head" [0]. Here's a choice quote from that article:

>“The problem,” [Intervoice founder Dr. Marius Romme] writes, “is not hearing voices, but the inability to cope with the experience.” In 1987, after two decades of clinical work, the Dutch psychiatrist began promoting a drug-free therapy in which patients were encouraged to accept and analyze their voices.

The article linked in this post has a similar sentiment from one of the patients:

>She hadn’t expected them to go. “My aim wasn’t to get rid of them – just to get along with them,” she told me. “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to let go. I’d never really been on my own. As abusive as it was, it’s still a relationship.”

Hopefully the therapy takes off, and we don't keep re-discovering this every 10 years.
