ITO, Julio César Nunes. Music: a possible expansion of resources in the analytical setting. Junguiana [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.1, pp.9-18. ISSN 0103-0825.

In a movement to recover the therapeutic value of music, this article seeks to expand the possibilities of resources to be worked in the jungian clinical setting. Through a literature review of analytical psychology, it was perceived a lack of material related to music as a therapeutic resource. From this point on, some reflections are presented on how music and the unconscious can be related from the perspective of analytical psychology. C. G. Jung's personal experience with music, the relationships between music and active imagination, music and neurosciences, as well as some implications of the use of this art in the analytical setting are discussed in this paper. Inserting the music in the jungian clinic, it was propitious to: stimulate the transcendent function, favoring the evocation of images of the psyche; to lower egoic defenses; to complement the work as a non-verbal language and to induce relaxation, aiding the transition to an altered state of consciousness, thus enriching the therapeutic work with symbolic-musical material.

Keywords : music; analytical psychology; uncounscious; imagem; Jung.
