Eleanor Longden

Dr Eleanor Longden, a research psychologist at the Psychosis Research Unit (PRU) in Manchester who also coordinates the research committee of Intervoice, is an articulate and impassioned speaker on the experience of hearing voices. In February 2013, she travelled to Long Beach, California to speak in front of a star-studded TED audience. To tie in with her talk, Eleanor has written a book, Learning from the Voices in My Head, which is both an account of her experiences and a call for change in the way voice-hearing is understood.
