Abstract

With the increase in new admissions and readmissions of patients due to psychiatric hospitalization since the end of the last century to date, the work and approach systems for the recovery of patients in hospitals, both at a general and psychiatric level, have had to adapt to various factors and social dimensions in constant change. Because times have been reduced in short stays, the approach to patient recovery is provided in a multidisciplinary manner considering the multiculturalism, beliefs, reactions and feelings that each patient presents. A proposal for intervention in emerging psychiatric recreational music therapy in three short-stay psychiatric general units at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health located in the city of Toronto, Canada, in the Crisis and Critical Care building was presented as supportive therapy. The objective is to improve the mood of patients, relieve anxiety about hospitalization, establish trust between patients and the treatment provided by the hospital through health professionals. The proposed method of intervention has been following models of Eyre (2016) and Silverman (2015) applied to the needs of CAMH psychiatric units. Group notes were made as an evaluation for each patient, in which the observations of the music therapist are recorded qualitatively on participation, affective quality, behavior, mood, among other criteria.
