Active Imagination To Explore The Use Of Technology In Music Therapy

Active Imagination is the most important and the most powerful technique in Analytical Psychology. Yet, there is still little introduction and study on Active Imagination. It may be partly because the traditional Active Imagination technique is too difficult to grasp. In order to develop this technique so that it can be easily obtained and integrated with Chinese Culture Psychology, we try to do three works: 1. Integrate Guided Imagery technique with Active Imagination technique to facilitate the development of Active Imagination; 2. Combine with Guided Imagery technique and Five-Element-Music to facilitate the development of Chinese Traditional Music Therapy; 3.Exame the effect of Five-Element-Music in the psychotherapy to provide evidence for future research on Chinese Traditional Music Therapy.We found in the end that Active Imagination technique, Guided Imagery technique can be integrated in Chinese Traditional Music Therapy. With Guided Imagery technique, Active Imagination showed easily to be used in the music therapy. And Five-Element-Music showed notable effect in the therapy process.
