Description
This questionnaire is based on the work of Dr Jacqueline Verdeau-Paillès who investigated the influence of our sound world in relationship to our emotional life.
Patients are asked to answer questions about their musical tastes, musical memories, and the importance of their sound environment. During the consultation they are instructed to listen to 10 musical excerpts.
This information helps to understand the patient's sensitivity to music and sounds, while providing a better understanding of their reaction to certain music to the therapist. The information gathered in this session is an account of a patient's personal story and is treated confidentially.
