BAPTISTA, Márcia Cristina. Music as a Facilitator of the Group Process. IGT rede []. 2019, 16, 30, pp.111-134.   09--2025. ISSN 1807-2526.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15086250.

The objective of this work is to share my experience in working with music group with users who present pictures compatible with mental disorder and it is from my look like Gestalt-therapist that I had the opportunity to identify benefits that the use of music as a socialization resource could provide year work with such clientele. This article was produced from my performance in a health device called Psychosocial Care Center CAPS, while acting as coordinator of a music group / workshop with the users of this service and was through a bibliographical survey and a logbook that obtained elements that allowed me to develop this article. Art appears here as a valuable resource that brings benefits to those who make use of it and comes as an aid or even an alternative to drug therapy. Acting as facilitator / mediator of the group process and being this work accomplished with an audience with symptomatology characteristic of serious mental disorders, the Gestalt-therapist can use important tools such as creativity and presence to facilitate the encounter, allowing the establishment of a genuine contact between the parts that allowed a greater perception of the difficulties and also of the transformations experienced by these people.
