The illnesses which professional musicians run the risk of developing in the course of their careers are not limited to the kinds of physical ailments specific to that particular profession. They also include psychological, psychosomatic and psychosocial complaints and disorders. Given that such problems frequently tend to build up over longer periods of time and, later on, can massively curtail professional activity, even to the extent of rendering it impossible altogether, the author encourages early psychological prevention commencing during the musicians studies, if possible. Among other things, psychological preventive training promotes a musicians self-awareness, along with the skills it takes to deal effectively with the conflicts that arise in such social settings as orchestra hierarchies. Working in small groups, musicians learn relaxation techniques and receive cognitive training, training in group dynamics and conflict-oriented behavioural training.
