Resumen

El sonido de las casas perdidas - Presentación del modelo COVER - Marco teórico y conocimiento práctico de la musicoterapia con refugiados y solicitantes de asilo

Resumen

Debido a la difícil situación de los refugiados, trabajar con este grupo es un desafío. Sin embargo, la musicoterapia es un método adecuado para la intervención terapéutica temprana. Los autores presentan el modelo de clasificación sensible al contexto para las intervenciones musicoterapéuticas con refugiados, modelo COVER, que se basa en experiencias musicales terapéuticas prácticas utilizando un enfoque basado en el trauma con refugiados en Alemania. El modelo COVER puede servir como guía para los musicoterapeutas que trabajan con refugiados en circunstancias inseguras. El modelo COVER aplica intervenciones musicoterapéuticas al entorno natural de vida de los refugiados y permite intervenciones tempranas que pueden ser un beneficio crucial para la salud psicológica de los refugiados y musicoterapeutas que trabajan en esta área.
