Abstract

Questo articolo introduce il nostro sviluppo sui concetti di Community Music Therapy e pensiero sistemico all'interno del nostro servizio di musicoterapia. Il lavoro, svolto in un ambiente apposito per adulti con difficoltà di apprendimento (disabilità intellettiva), è stato creato in risposta alla sfida di fornire un più convenzionale servizio di musicoterapia all'interno del London Borough of Sutton Health Team, per persone con difficoltà di apprendimento (disabilità intellettive). Abbiamo collegialmente scoperto che i nostri clienti, i loro operatori di sostegno, e noi stessi, siamo stati abbassati di valore umano per ciò che non è stato visto, o sentito. Il Clinical Health Team per persone con difficoltà di apprendimento, è costituito da una serie di professionisti della salute e fa parte del Servizio per la Disabilità del London Borough di Sutton. La parte di terapie creative del servizio è composta da musicoterapia e drammaterapia. Le terapie creative riguardano una vasta gamma di esigenze di salute emozionale e mentale per le persone con difficoltà di apprendimento, come depressione, ansia, comportamenti problema, transizione e cambiamento.
