In a paper by Hyland (7) the hypothesis that the therapeutic interaction involves some kind of 'entanglement' between people is proposed. Different versions of the theory that entanglement is possible between people are examined. The way in which this happens and the way it has a therapeutic effect are looked at in the paper. The two main versions are specific entanglement and global, emergent entanglement-specific entanglement.
Quantum entanglement has been proposed several times for telepathy and in healing as shown above. It is proposed here that hearing voices in schizophrenia is in fact telepathy but involves distress due to the voices.
In schizophrenia people report hearing voices and perceive that these voices are real (8 9). These voices are seen as symptoms of the auditory hallucinations reported by Health Care Professionals. The parts of the brain that are affected are similar to those in actual hearing (10)
