[Treatment of psychotic patients with music therapy]

Journal/Book: Z Klin Psychol Psychopathol Psychother. 1995; 43: 249-60.

Abstract: The present contribution describes the experience taken from music therapy of psychotic patients. The emotional and cognitive music perception and its possible influence on self perception and strengthening of ego are discussed. Since exercise instructions were limited the observed improvement of communication seems rather due to intra- and interpersonal effects of active improvisation than to a training process. With regard to schizophrenic patients possible effects of music therapy are discussed in the light of self-object-differentiation.
