Abstract: Describes a music therapy approach used in the psychiatric ward of a West German municipal hospital for children and adolescents. The role of music therapy in facilitating nonverbal communication, loosening rigid behavior and interaction patterns, focusing attention, and developing and practicing new skills is discussed. A case example of a 12-yr-old girl with severe depression illustrates the integration of group music therapy into a multimodal inpatient treatment program. (English abstract)
