Marius Romme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Marius Romme MD PhD was a professor for social psychiatry at the Medical Faculty of the University of Maastricht (Netherlands) from 1974 to 1999, as well as consultant psychiatrist at the Community Mental Health Centre in Maastricht. He is now visiting professor at the Mental Health Policy Centre, University of Central England in Birmingham.
He is best known for his work on hearing voices (auditory hallucinations) and regarded as the founder and principle theorist for the Hearing Voices Movement.
Romme has stated that schizophrenia "is a harmful concept" and that delusions, hearing voices and hallucinations, so-called "symptoms" of schizophrenia are not related to an illness but may be reactions to traumatic and troubling events in life. [1]
