  • Title: [Establishing contact in the early stage of severe craniocerebral trauma: sound as the bridge to mute patients].
    Author: Jochims S.
    Journal: Rehabilitation (Stuttg); 1994 Feb; 33(1):8-13. PubMed ID: 7513085.
    Abstract:
    Both from a theoretical perspective and by means of several case examples, the article focuses on the issue of overcoming the disturbed pre-verbal communication behaviour presented by patients in the early stage following severe craniocerebral trauma. In patients with brain lesion, a pre-verbal, emotionally-focussed tonal language almost invariably is capable of reaching the still healthy sections of the person. Hence, it is possible for music therapy to both establish contact with the seemingly non-responsive patient and re-stimulate the person's fundamental communication competencies and experience at the emotional, social and cognitive levels.
