terapeuta también crea una progresión de experiencias
musicales, sesión tras sesión, apoyando las fases de
desarrollo de cada paciente. El objetivo primario de las
improvisaciones del musicoterapeuta es implicar
activamente a los pacientes en la creación musical, que
está abierta a la exploración y transformación. Nordoff y
Robbins modelaron la manera en que la música puede
ser un medio primordial para motivar y realizar el
crecimiento terapéutico del paciente.

In this report we refer the case of a seven year-old
young girl, born dumb, under psychotherapy treatment
since the age of two. The diagnosis is symbiotic
psychosis, with autistic traits.
We underline a new modality of intervention, that comes
from twenty years activity with deaf and mental retarded
children. This method is producing good results also in
the treatment of psychotic children. The main points are:
- the child is sitting on top of a square piano;
- a psychomotorial therapist is sitting on the piano, near
the child;
- one or both parents are also present, beside the piano;
- the musictherapist plays the piano, observing the
child, matching his tempo, his energetic level, his tone
variations, his movements. Reading the minimal
posture and body cues of the child like a living score, he
reaches a deep empathy state with the child;
