Abstract: In this study the theory-conducted empirical procedure for analysing active improvisatory musictherapy of a single case will be described. The operationalisation and tests for validation will be described. According to the aim of the study, the results show that the used method is appropriate to describe different and repetitive (emotional) patterns of improvisatory playing, which reflect the personal (emotional) and interpersonal pathology and healthy parts of the examined patient. With the aid of several tests the results of validating the macroprocess will be discussed.
