LOPEZ DE LA VEGA, Mario Ricardo. Active group music therapy and depression on patients of the Psychiatric Hospital - CNS. Revista de Psicologia [online]. 2020, n.24, pp.11-36. ISSN 2223-3032.

Abstract Depression is one of the biggest mental health problems worldwide and our country is not exempt from this problem, this means a huge challenge for professionals in the area and a search for accessible, innovative, sustainable and effective treatments, for what music therapy could, in some way, provide answers to these demands, since as Bruscia K. indicated in 1988, among its therapeutic objectives would be the restoration, maintenance and enhancement of both physical and mental health. It is with this purpose that the present investigation through a quasi-experimental design, aims to demonstrate that the named active group music therapy reduces the levels of depression. To achieve this goal, a music therapy intervention program has been structured based on the principles presented by Gaston T. and Poch S. and on the principle of Iso (Sound musical identity) principle from Altshuler I. and Benenzon R.; and on the other hand, in the active group methodology (Poch S., Alvin J. and Satinosky S.) that has been implemented in the Psychiatry Hospital of the CNS in a group of patients with depression, in an estimated time of four months, as well as a comparative analysis with a control group, obtaining significant statistical results that confirm the research hypothesis and that allow foreseeing the incursion of this novel therapeutic resource in the treatment of depression in our sociocultural context.
