Abstract
Objective: To examine whether abuse and dysfunctional parental affiliation in childhood are associated with voice appraisals of power and perceived expressed emotion, present-day shame cognitions, and depression and suicidal ideation. Method: Seventy-four voice-hearers participated. Depressive and suicidal status, childhood abuse and parental affiliation, shame cognitions and appraisals of voice power and perceived expressed emotion were assessed. Results: Overall, childhood emotional abuse was linked to greater voice power and lack of emotional support from parents was linked to lower support and affiliation with voices. Rejection from father and emotional abuse were the strongest and consistent predictors of internal and external shame cognitions. Depression was strongly correlated with parental emotional abuse. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the voice/voice-hearer relationship operates as an emotional mirror reflecting elements of traumatic childhood affiliations, and that these affiliations are associated with present-day shame cognitions and depression.
