Η ομάδα, που έχει τη βάση της σε ένα μικρό αγροτικό χωριό στην Ιαπωνία όπου στο παρελθόν δεν υπήρχε πρόσβαση στη μουσικοθεραπεία, είναι ενεργή εδώ και 13 χρόνια και συναντιέται κυρίως κατά τη διάρκεια των σχολικών διακοπών. Με την πάροδο του χρόνου, 27 γιαπωνέζες μητέρες με τα παιδιά τους έχουν συμμετάσχει στην ομάδα. Η θεραπεύτρια ενθαρρύνει τη μουσική αλληλεπίδραση και την έκφραση μέσω του μουσικού αυτοσχεδιασμού και της εργασίας με την οικογένεια. Η σημασία της συνέχειας στη θεραπευτική πρακτική διερευνάται με διαφορετικούς τρόπους. Το άρθρο αυτό επικεντρώνεται σε μια μελέτη περίπτωσης ατομικής μουσικοθεραπείας με ένα παιδί στο αυτιστικό φάσμα (το οποίο συμμετείχε στην ομάδα), ενώ παράλληλα παρουσιάζει τα σχόλια των μητέρων που συμμετείχαν μαζί με τα παιδιά τους στην ομάδα. Επιπλέον, συζητιούνται οι θεωρίες και οι μέθοδοι που η μουσικοθεραπεύτρια θεώρησε χρήσιμες κατά τη δουλειά της με την ομάδα, όπως η μουσικοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση «επιστροφής στα βασικά» (Drake 2008) που βασίζεται στη θεωρία της προσκόλλησης (Bowlby 1988) και στα γραπτά του Winnicott (1960, 1963, 1971). Η έννοια της συνέχειας συζητείται αναφορικά με την ανάπτυξη ενός ασφαλούς περιβάλλοντος στην ομάδα όπου οι μητέρες και τα παιδιά επέστρεφαν συστηματικά. Προτείνεται ότι η διαδικασία ανάπτυξης αυτού του ασφαλούς περιβάλλοντος μπορεί με τη σειρά της να οδηγήσει σε μια μορφή γονεϊκής δικτύωσης που δύναται να υποστηρίξει παιδιά με μαθησιακές δυσκολίες καθ\u27 όλη τη διάρκεια της ζωής τους.This paper explores the concept of continuity in the context of a long-term open music therapy group for mothers and children with learning disabilities between 5 and 18 years old. Based in a small rural village in Japan where there was no previous access to music therapy, the group has been active for 13 years and meets primarily during school holidays. Over time, up to 27 Japanese mothers with their children have participated in the group. The therapist encourages musical interaction and expression through musical improvisation and engagement with the family.
The significance of continuity in therapeutic practice is explored in different ways. In addition to focusing on a case study of individual music therapy with a child on the autistic spectrum (who attended the group), this paper presents feedback from the mothers who participated together with their children in the group. Theories and methods which the music therapist has found helpful in her work with the group are also discussed, such as the “back to basics” music therapy approach (Drake 2008) which draws on attachment theory (Bowlby 1988) and the writings of Winnicott (1960, 1963, 1971). Continuity is discussed in terms of helping the group to develop a safe environment to which the mothers and children repeatedly returned. It is proposed that the process of developing this safe environment in turn, may eventually lead to the type of parent networking that may be able to support children with learning disabilities throughout their lifetime

Paths of professional development in music therapy: Training, professional identity and practice
Get PDFMusic therapy is listed as a profession in the EU Regulated Professions Database. This has assisted the next steps towards recognition in relevant countries and regions. The author’s experience as an academic leader in music therapy training over more than two decades is used to reflect on the profession of music therapy within Europe through interrogation of concepts underpinning professional identity, training, and professional practice. Potential tensions between recognition and regulation of healthcare professions are presented and discussed. As all practice takes place in context, balancing training needs between techniques and skills, systemic national and regional policy, and institutional knowledge is crucial. Achieving this balance is not easy but is key to successful growth of practitioner knowledge, seeding student’s curiosity about context and systems from the dawn of training
Solo or tutti, together or alone – What form of professional/legal recognition is best for music therapy?
Get PDFIn this article, the status of professional/legal recognition in Germany is described briefly. Using examples from the United Kingdom and Austria, two forms of professional/legal recognition are explored and compared: recognition under an umbrella with other related therapy forms and recognition as an autonomous form of therapy. Pros and cons are defined and various possibilities and limitations are discussed briefly. This forms the basis for drawing conclusions in an attempt to answer the question regarding the best type of recognition at the national level as well as considering aspects of recognition at the European level
