Psychotherapy as a practice in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation is increasingly seen as a means to promote recovery from serious mental illness (SMI). While mostly informed by mental health theory and research, art might offer profound and enduring insights to inform psychotherapy with people with SMI. In this article, we argue that jazz, a form of art which entails both structure and improvising, may enrich and broaden clinicians' abilities to facilitate meaning-making with clients to promote recovery.
Through the literature review and theoretical synthesis, we explore how jazz may be a space where specific processes can be observed and accordingly guide psychotherapy focused on subjective forms of recovery.
We argue that jazz offers a space to see how timing, risk-taking, the ability to be simultaneously inside and outside an activity, and support for the process of tension and release can inform and inspire the process of improvisation within psychotherapy.
Jazz offers a creative framework which can help clinicians observe and facilitate recovery processes in psychotherapy. The perspective of jazz in the therapeutic arena of psychiatric rehabilitation emphasizes the potential of the arts and humanities to continue to enrich our understanding and guide our teaching and training.

在精神康复领域，心理治疗越来越被视为促进严重精神疾病（SMI）患者康复的一种手段。虽然主要是基于心理健康理论和研究，但艺术可能会提供深刻而持久的见解，为精神障碍患者的心理治疗提供信息。在本文中，我们认为，爵士乐是一种既需要结构又需要即兴创作的艺术形式，可以丰富和拓宽临床医生与客户一起进行意义构建以促进康复的能力。
通过文献回顾和理论综合，我们探讨了爵士乐如何成为观察特定过程的空间，并相应地指导以主观康复形式为重点的心理治疗。
我们认为，爵士乐提供了一个空间，可以观察到时间、冒险、同时处于活动内外的能力，以及对紧张和释放过程的支持，如何为心理治疗中的即兴创作过程提供信息和灵感。
爵士乐提供了一个创造性的框架，可以帮助临床医生观察和促进心理治疗中的康复过程。在精神康复治疗领域中，爵士乐的观点强调了艺术和人文学科的潜力，可以继续丰富我们的理解，并指导我们的教学和培训。
