• Å høyra meir enn dei fleste. Forståande perspektiv på levd erfaring av å høyra stemmer og lydar. 

      Kalhovde, Anne Martha (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-08)
      Hovudtema i denne hovudfagsoppgåva er levd erfaring av å høyra stemmer og lydar som einskilde menneske er åleine om å erfare. Omgrepet 'personleg erfarte stemmer og lydar' vert introdusert. Omgrepet viser til at høyrselsfenomena sitt særpreg er knytt til at dei berre kan høyrast av den som erfarar dei, at dei vert erfart som ikkje-meg, og at dei er forma gjennom livet til den som erfarer dei.

      Kalhovde, Anne Martha; Kitzmüller, Gabriele (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-31)
      Serious mental illness (SMI) can significantly impact the lives of individuals and their families.

However, we do not fully understand the emotional distress of family caregivers. Thus, our aim was to enrich the understanding ...

Therefore, our purpose was to explore how siblings narrate their experiences of being the main caregivers of a brother or sister with severe mental illness and how they cooperate with their ill sibling and their family of origin. We used a narrative hermeneutic approach and performed a secondary ...
    • Living with voices and sounds other cannot hear 

      Kalhovde, Anne Martha (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-03-31)
      Hearing voices and sounds unshared by others, often termed auditory (verbal) hallucinations, is commonly known as a symptom of serious mental illness. The fact that it is not uncommon in the general population has led to research focused on hearing voices and sounds as experiences in themselves. The aim of this research project was to understand how people experience hearing and dealing with voices ...

      Kalhovde, Anne Martha; Elstad, Ingunn; Talseth, Anne-Grethe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-11)
      In this article, we aim to contribute to the understanding of how people with mental illness experience hearing voices and sounds that others do not hear in daily life. We conducted in-depth interviews with 14 people and analyzed the interviews using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The themes we arrived at included the following: hearing someone else or myself, am I losing my mind?, and ...
