[Methodological considerations and practical experiences with music therapy in psychotics].
This article deals with a method that has for some years been used by the author at a psychiatric reception ward for women where mainly patients with psychosis of the manic-depressive and schizophrenic forms are admitted. This method called "Graduated Group Music Therapy" was developed from a combination of various music-therapeutic techniques which were established under the aspect of a social training and co-ordinated with each other. The various techniques show a specific influence on the behaviour of the psychotics and support the development of adequate modes of behaviour via nonverbal communication systems.
