Sažetak
THEME This study explores the notion of music narrativity, in particular, the capacity of western classical music to elicit specific narrative archetypes in the imagery of clients during Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) therapy sessions. METHOD Elicited imagery (social and physical situations) collected during 23 GIM sessions featuring the ‘Nurturing’ programme (music group) was examined and categorized into 15 sub-categories, each belonging to either Jung’s Eros (passive/ nurturing) or Logos (active/ discriminating) superordinate archetypal category. The same categorization was done with 23 randomly selected stories from different cultures (control group). The imagery in the GIM session was expected to predominantly be of Eros quality because of Bonny’s intentions for the programme, which were to provide a nurturing feeling. RESULTS The results show a significant difference between all imagery categories, with the Eros principle categories being significantly more present in the music group. The therapeutic intentions of the programme, to bring out issues of mothering and nurturance through music listening, were thus confirmed by the results. However, it is not clear whether this is due to Bonny’s specific music choice for the programme or due to the general nature of western classical music.
