Son Llàtzer University Hospital promotes a music therapy programme for patients at the Psychiatric Day Hospital

Fifteen users and technicians from the Psychiatry unit took part in ten 90-minute sessions, facilitated by music therapists Arantxa Andreu and Pau Català, who specialise in mental health.

The programme has incorporated a wide variety of techniques, including instrumental and vocal clinical improvisation, song composition and creation, diverse vocal work, recreation through musical performance, guided visualisations, percussion circles, music and movement, as well as exploration of the participants’ sound history and artistic expression through music.

This project has been noted for its comprehensive and effective approach to the emotional and social support of patients and has demonstrated the significant therapeutic benefits of music therapy in the hospital setting.
