Hello!
This is our first post, and as we have said in the presentation, we are going
to talk about music therapy in this blog, and how to use it for education and
help people with autism.
Depending
on the author, the music therapy is defined as:
“An intervention systematic process, where the
professional helps the patient in order to obtain health with music experiences
and the relations that are created by them as the dynamic strength of change”.
(Brusca, K. Barcelona Publisher, 1998)
“The
music therapy is the resonant sensorial approximation to certain number of
mental and psychological difficulties with therapeutic intention”. Edith
Lecourt (music therapist)
So,
the music therapy is a mix between music and therapy, it’s a treatment or
recovery by the combination of sounds.
It
can be use in many fields and different people with different problems, like psychosis,
autism, drug addiction, bulimia/anorexia... but our main interest is on autism.
