O movimento internacional de ouvidores de vozes: as origens de uma tenaz prática de resistência

Objective: to present a historical and theoretical rescue of the International Movement of Voice Hearing in the world context. Methods: a theoretical discussion about the International Movement of Voice Hearing was held, as well as the main authors who discuss the theme. Also, reflect on the experience of hearing voices. Results: the movement was born in the Netherlands in the second half of the 1980s and then spread to Europe, and later around the world, to arrive in Brazil last year, with the National Congress of Voice Hearing in Mental Health, in 2017. Final considerations: the movement is a return that clearly marks the transition from the role of the patient, with all the stigma associated with this condition, to the voice hearer who shows how to transform his own "insensate" experience into a knowledge capable of healing: a kind of Nemesis.
