Biography

Sandra Escher was first trained at the School of Journalism in Utrecht, before she began to work at the University of Maastricht, department of Social Psychiatry. She became also a senior staff member at the Community mental Health Centre in Maastricht in 1987. Since that time she works together with Marius Romme on the hearing voices project. With Romme she wrote two books which have been translated into several languages. With him she developed the Maastricht Interview for Voice hearers. Sandra organised eight annual well attended congresses and helped voice hearers to write their presentations. In 1999 she became an honorary research fellow at the University of Central England in Birmingham. Sandra began a 3-year follow-up on 80 children hearing voices. On this research she got her M.Phil and PhD in Birmingham and she got a PhD at the University of Maastricht. At present she is co-director of Intervoice. Together with Wilma Boevink she edited the book: ‘Making sense of self-harm’(2001). Since 2002 she is participating in an international teaching project funded by the European community. She developed a module which trains voices hearers to use their experience to train professionals and uses the module to train experts by experience now. She is trainer in the Maastricht interview.

She is also credited with developing Experience Focussed Counselling together with Prof Marius Romme & Joachim Schnackenberg.[1]
