Abstract

Das Support Programme for Abuse Reactive Children wurde von der Teddy Bear Clinic (einer Non-Profit-Organisation, die zum Schutz missbrauchter Kinder gegründet wurde) in Südafrika als Reaktion auf die Zunahme von minderjährigen Straftätern, deren Opfer ebenfalls minderjährig sind, initiiert. Dieses Kurzzeitprogramm zielt darauf ab, jungen Ersttätern eine ganzheitliche Rehabilitation anzubieten, welche konventionelle Diversionsansätze mit kreativen Programmen, einschließlich Gruppenmusiktherapie kombiniert. Basierend auf der Durchsicht meiner Therapieprotokolle befasst sich dieser Artikel mit Herausforderungen und positiven Entwicklungen, die ich im Laufe der Zeit als Musiktherapeutin des Programms von 2006 bis 2016 erlebt habe. Obwohl ich diese Arbeit oft als chaotisch empfand, legen die Ergebnisse nahe, dass durch die gemeinsame Entwicklung mit Teilnehmern der Gruppenmusiktherapie, Klinikmitarbeitern und der breiten Öffentlichkeit eines kontextspezifischen Musiktherapieprogramms, die Musiktherapie eine zunehmend relevante und wertvolle Ergänzung des Diversionsprogramms ist. Fortwährende Herausforderungen dieser Arbeit werden ebenfalls hervorgehoben.
