What is Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves?
Voice Dialogue is a powerful therapeutic, relationship and
personal transformation tool. Through Voice Dialogue we work
directly with the selves or subpersonalities of our psyche to
create lasting change.
In practical terms, the process means that we can change the
"stuck" places in our life; we can experience greater
freedom, choice and aliveness individually and in relationship.
Uncovering Greater Possibility
By giving access to parts of us not previously available, we can discover greater potential. This can be especially valuable in developing a specific area of life and creativity. Artists, including actors, singers, musicians and visual artists can use Voice Dialogue to take their art into new areas.
Ultimately, the intention is the development of the Aware Ego - a conductor
of the psyche - which can orchestrate the way in which the selves
come in, so that none dominate or are absent.
Paul and Robin Gale-Baker
offer individual sessions in Voice Dialogue and teach Voice
Dialogue to professionals, as well as running self-development
courses.
Voice Dialogue was developed
by Hal Stone, PhD and Sidra Stone, PhD, internationally
renowned clinical psychologists and teachers and is based on
their theoretical framework, the Psychology of Selves. Their
books have been translated into Danish, Dutch, French, German,
Italian. Norwegian and Swedish.
You can find out more about Hal and Sidra Stone at their Delos site,
where you will find articles and information about Voice Dialogue.

Body Dialogue
Body Dialogue allows Voice Dialogue practitioners to dialogue
directly with the body about the body's pain, discomfort, disease
and distress. Body Dialogue provides a map of further work which
needs to be done with the primary and disowned selves. Body Dialogue
can be combined with other modalities and is a very valuable
tool for counsellors, psychotherapists, naturopaths, masseurs,
nurses, doctors and all health practitioners. Originated by Judith
Stone, a clinical psychologist, it has been further developed
in Australia by Robin Gale-Baker.
