Abstract

A group of patients in adult psychiatry was examined. In clinical music therapy they showed neither like nor dislike of various musical styles (»I listen to everything!«). A connection between this lack of musical preference and a diagnosed disorder of self-awareness was suspected. An empirical comparative study on the basis of a »sounding survey« with 27 items indicated that patients with a self-awareness disorder (n = 33) assessed musical samples in various styles to a significantly less differentiated extent, and overall far more positively (d = 1.19), than the control group (n = 34).
