Participants: 20 children and adolescents

Dr. Michel G. Mouret (2) made key observations about the therapeutic effects of the Catharsis musical pro- gram. After the implementation of graphic expression sessions under musical induction, Dr. Mouret was amazed by the correlation between the symbols patients had illustrated in their drawings and the titles Dr. Amouyal had given the songs - titles which were not disclosed to the listeners.

Dr. Mouret report how this music impact individuals both emotionally and mentally. He concluded that the musical selections in the Catharsis Application Program can indeed reveal and activate the unconscious and its driving archetype. He found that children who participated in the CAP Program were less distressed and more able to cooperate about their care. He also found that staff who was part of the program encounter deep insights about themselves and were more involved in their work.
