Abstract
Background: The development of the therapeutic relationship and cooperation with psychiatric patients in general is crucial in order to prevent violence in clinical psychiatry.
In forensic psychiatry the development of a therapeutic relationship is challenging because the patients have little insight into their psychiatric illness and the interaction is often characterized by power struggles and aggression.
Studies document the effect of a good therapeutic relationship, but not how to facilitate the development of this relationship. Moreover, there are no studies on therapeutic relationship with forensic psychiatric patients.
Aim: The aim of the study is to describe how a creative, non-verbal and active approach like music therapy can facilitate a constructive interaction with forensic psychiatric patients. Including sustaining the development of understanding, dialogue and support in the relationship between the forensic psychiatric patient and the therapist. Moreover, support the patient´s motivation to be involved in the treatment and the development of the therapeutic relationship
