Abstract: In the Medical University of Lubeck (Germany), T. Maler developed a music group therapy, which was based on psychoanalytic theories. In the years from 1984-1991, the behavior of 200 patients in the music therapy was assessed by means of new constructed rating scales. The patients had different kinds of psychosomatic and psychiatric disorders. The results show significant changes in the music playing behavior after 10 sessions of music therapy. The patients playing was louder, more free in the improvisation and showed more plasticity. There were no differences between the different diagnostic groups in the study.
