Song synthesis: further neuropsychological assumptions of induced song recall

Article Abstract:

The use of induced song recall in psychotherapy, referred to as song synthesis, often proves valuable in treatment because it represents an unconscious expression of creativity that neuropsychological research has shown reflects cooperation between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The patient's song synthesis enables the therapist to monitor hemispheric integration, foster the patient's interpersonal relations by exchanging musical knowledge, and build rapport. The use of song synthesis also aids the identification and resolution of the patient's psychological conflicts.

Unconsciously induced song recall: the process of unintentional rather than so-called spontaneous evocations of music

Article Abstract:

The psychoanalytic use of the term 'evocation' should be returned to Freud's use of unintentional rather than spontaneous, with regard to the induced song recall technique. Unintentional is a more accurate description of what occurs, for the music therapists think of is unplanned, unpredictable, and involuntary. Spontaneous implies suddenness and lack of context, which is inaccurate with induced song recall, since therapists encourage patients to recall music like dreams for analysis and interpretation.
