Abstract

Dieser Artikel stellt die Entwicklung der Konzepte der Community Musiktherapie und Systemisches Denken in unserer Musiktherapiearbeit dar. Die Arbeit in einer betreuten Einrichtung für Erwachsene mit Lernbehinderungen (geistigen Behinderungen) wurde als eine Reaktion auf die Herausforderungen konventioneller Musiktherapie innerhalb des klinischen Gesundheitsteams für Menschen mit Lernbehinderungen begonnen. Wir entdeckten, dass sowohl unsere Klienten, ihre Unterstützer und wir selber in unserem menschlichen Wert reduziert wurden, da wir nicht gesehen und gehört wurden. Das klinische Gesundheitsteam für Menschen mit Lernbehinderungen besteht aus einer Vielzahl von Gesundheits-Experten und ist ein Teil der London Borough of Sutton Dienstleistungen für Behinderung. Der kreative Anteil des Dienstes ist Musik und Drama-Therapie. Kreative Therapien werfen einen Blick auf ein breites Spektrum von emotionalen und psychischen Gesundheitsbedürfnissen von Menschen mit Lernbehinderungen wie Depression, Angst, herausforderndes Verhalten, Übergang und Veränderung.
