Established approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of psychosis face a growing challenge. Critical Psychiatry demands we put patient rights, autonomy, and recovery at the forefront of treatment. They downplay the role of the brain in etiology and, thus, the efficacy of pharmacological treatments, which they argue do more harm than good1. This may be dismissed out of hand by the contemporary psychiatrist: while there are adverse effects of antipsychotics, these drugs outperform placebos in controlled clinical trials—a bar that is not met by cognitive therapies1. However, some critical psychiatry views find empirical support: psychotic symptoms worsen in the context of social isolation2, they are sensitive to the emotionality expressed by family members, and they are statistically associated with trauma3.We suggest the burgeoning field of computational psychiatry (CP) may reconcile biological psychiatry with critical psychiatry as well as the values and goals of those with lived experience of psychosis. We will focus on auditory verbal hallucinations or ‘voices.’We will highlight how the Hearing Voices Network (HVN), a growing recovery-oriented organization that emphasizes accepting voice-hearing experiences4, and a new predictive processing account of hallucinations5, might offer similar insights. Given the HVN’s tendency to downplay biomedical explanations of voices, it may seem that the HVN and brain-based CP make strange bedfellows. However, CP emerged from a desire for consilience across multiple levels of explanation, whether neurobiological, cognitive, or social. It is about modeling the world and the brain within it. By spanning and uniting levels of explanation, CP embraces the pluralism central to the HVN, and brings the power of this pluralism to the service of clinical care.
