Abstract: Singing is central to human group formation. It facilitates contact among group members, promoting social cohesiveness through organizing and discharging of intense emotions. In Gestalt therapy practice, singing experiments can be dynamic ways of working with clients. Looking from the perspectives of neurobiology, infant development, anthropology, biomusicology and sociology, this paper aims to show why experiments with singing make highly effective therapeutic activities.
