Abstract

Music therapy is a discipline with an important background that has demonstrated its substantial benefits for people with multiple different personal profiles. Humans at all stages of life, with functional diversity, health, cognitive, or emotional problems, can feel the benefits of music therapy. Adolescence is a convulse stage in human development, and music therapy can be an invaluable source of support so adolescents can develop in a positive way. Flow is, according to Csikszentmihalyi, an altered state of mind in which a person feels engaged with a gratifying activity, producing high levels of satisfaction. In the present research work, interactions between flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 2012) and music are explored through a case-study with one adolescent in a school context.
