Moglichkeiten der Einbeziehung gruppenmusiktherapeutischer Methoden in die Behandlung von Psychotikern. / Possibilities for introducing group-centred music therapy for the treatment of psychotics

Journal/Book: Psychiatrie, Neurologie und medizinische Psychologie. 1983; 35: 49-53.

Abstract: Investigated 4 types of music therapy (listening, singing, dancing, and playing instruments), which can be combined to obtain a "graduated group-centered music therapy," with regard to their methodological and didactical organization and their effects on a group of schizophrenics. Each of the therapy types acts in a different way on anxiety and activity. It is suggested that it is possible to influence these variables during group-centered treatment and to lead the group toward modes of communication and behavior that are more appropriate to reality.
