Gliederung

Text

Due to globalization, there is a growing number of therapists and clients delivering and receiving psychotherapy in their second language. In this study, we aimed to measure whether receiving music therapy (MT) in the mother tongue differs from receiving it in a second language for clients. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, receiving MT in their native and second languages. The well-being and stress levels were measured before and after the intervention. Acceptance to therapy was measured after the intervention. The two groups were not significantly different regarding well-being, stress level, and acceptance of therapy. Although the language is known to be a therapeutic alliance, the outcomes of this study did not differ significantly in the patients receiving MT in their native or second language. Further studies with more participants are needed to examine whether music can really cross the language barrier in therapy.
