Resumen

El concepto de musicoterapia en India se aborda con diferentes términos como terapia musical, uso terapéutico de la música, música o sanación musical, Nada Chikitsa, Nada Yoga, Raga Chikitsa, Raga Therapy, संगीतीय उपचार, सांगीतिक चिकित्सा, etc. Las personas que trabajan en esta área se tratan como musicoterapeutas, curanderos musicales, संगीत चिकित्सक, नाद चिकित्सक, etc. Con el establecimiento de organizaciones como Nada Center for Music Therapy (2004), The Music Therapy Trust (2005), Indian Association of Music Therapy (2010) y Indian Music Therapy Association (2018), la aplicación de la música en varios entornos para su ha mejorado sus propiedades terapéuticas y curativas. La gente en la India ha estado trabajando en este campo como profesionales a tiempo completo y curanderos a tiempo parcial durante casi cuatro décadas. Pero también es cierto que la gente aún desconoce las prácticas de musicoterapia en India, cómo funciona, cómo usar la música en un entorno terapéutico, cómo se deben evaluar los cambios y mejoras, dónde aprender y recibir capacitación en musicoterapia, cómo recibir educación profesional en musicoterapia, etc. Dado que esta profesión se ocupa de la salud física, mental y emocional de las personas, es importante establecer un sistema de capacitación más formal que se requiere para cualquier servicio de atención médica. A cambio, estos desarrollos tendrán un impacto positivo en las prácticas de musicoterapia en India.

Este artículo es un pequeño intento de explorar las prácticas actuales de musicoterapia en la India. Para ello, se realizó una entrevista telefónica con la Dra. Nishindra Kinjalk, quien es musicoterapeuta, doctora en Medicina y tocadora de Sitar y Surbahar. La entrevista se centró en su comprensión integral de las prácticas de musicoterapia, su investigación, su modelo de aplicación musical conocido como Kinjalk Mode of Music Application (Kinialk modo de aplicación de música) o KIMMA, desarrollado por él y sus compañeros médicos, las barreras potenciales para la expansión de este campo y el futuro de musicoterapia en la India.

Además, se diseñó y compartió una encuesta de Google Form con personas que trabajan con musicoterapia en la India y que habían completado alguno de los certificados, diplomas o cursos de grado ofrecidos por institutos privados y gubernamentales a través de instrucción en línea, en persona o en modo a distancia. La encuesta de Google se utilizó para recopilar sus respuestas para conocer sus prácticas de musicoterapia, métodos de terapia, intervenciones, proceso de evaluación y la población con la que han estado trabajando, etc.

Los encuestados incluyeron tanto a personas capacitadas en prácticas de musicoterapia como a quienes usan la música con fines terapéuticos. Es importante reconocer que durante la redacción de este informe, India estaba completamente bloqueada debido a la pandemia de Covid. Por lo tanto, las entrevistas telefónicas y las encuestas en línea se consideraron apropiadas para recopilar información.
