Abstract: The basic preverbal fundamentals of human communication are called suprasegmentals--time, phrasing, rhythm, pitch, and voice timbre. These are the qualities music therapists consider in assessing tape-recorded sessions of improvised music therapy. In a dynamic way one hears the individual as a whole self and in relationship with another person. One hears the patient coming into being as he or she creates a relationship in time. It may be that illness is a state in which the person as a whole is restricted in his or her capacity to improvise creatively, or presides over a limited repertoire of coping responses. (author)
