Sažetak
The article focuses on music as a therapeutic option in psychiatry. In the first part of the article the authors have given a review of various comprehensions and definitions of music itself, as well as the effect of music on the mind. The idea of music as a healing influence which could influence health and behaviour is at least as old as the writings of Aristotle and Plato. Today, music therapy is a well-established allied segment of the health profession, similar to occupational therapy and physical therapy. It consists of using music therapeutically to address physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioural and social functioning. The music therapy experience is related to art and everyday experiences in many different ways. In other parts of the article, the authors have tried to show the importance of rhythm through life, as well as to show the functions of music therapy, and the favourable experiences that they have had with their patients who had music therapy as a therapeutic option.
