Erfahrungen in der Auditiven Musiktherapie mit Hirngeschädigten

Journal/Book: Musiktherapeutische Umschau. 1997; 1997: 178 - 193.

Abstract: Auditive Music Therapy means active listening to selected pieces of music, above all classical ones, in a setting determined by stillness, protected surroundings, attentive and concentrated presence. The ritualized listening is integrated in a dialogue or an offer of non-verbal communication. It promotes the processes of healing and working through for cerebrally damaged persons. Experience shows that these patients respond very sensitively to music and react similarly in early phases of recovery. Concentrated, active listening to classical music creates a dialogical encounter and invigorates the psychological domain of the emotions asthe mediator between physical sensation and consciousness. The main characteristic of Auditive Music Therapy is the integration of objective structural contents of music in subjective emotional experience.
