Recently we've learned about a computer assisted process for dialogue with disembodied, persecutory voices.  In this process, developed by Dr. Julian Leff, a psychiatrist at University College, London, voice hearers pick a sound for their voice and a face which becomes an avatar on the computer screen.  Then the facilitator helps them to dialogue with the avatar to oppose it.  The results are very impressive.
