Zur Akzeptanz und Relevanz der Musiktherapie in einem psychiatrischen Akutkrankenhaus

Following a general view on schools and methods of musictherapy, the musictherapeutic setting in an psychiatric hospital is examinated from different points of view. "Participant observation" shows the researchers observations, an "expert interview" figures out the therapists point of view on his methods and interventions and an "questionary" asks for the patient's opinions about music therapy.
The evaluation of the gained material has been done by the methode of "grounded theory".
The results show, that the observed mixture of music reception and active methods in the semi-opened group therapy setting, leads to relief of the burden on the psychiatric patients.
The evaluation of the questionairy shows, that there is mainly a passiv attitude with the mostly depressiv patients.
In cases of longer enduring participance in the group therapy, in some cases even in combination with individual therapy, development could be observed.
