Abstract

L'articolo esamina la letteratura musicoterapica dal 1990 al 2012, incentrata sui bambini di età compresa tra 0 e 5 anni. La letteratura include descrizioni cliniche, articoli di ricerca e capitoli di libri, pubblicazioni elettroniche e riviste scientifiche “peer reviewed”. In totale sono stati trovati 125 diversi testi che soddisfano i criteri di inclusione. Una semplice analisi quantitativa ha fornito indicazioni per un'analisi qualitativa più approfondita e comparativa. Secondo i dati, si è scritto più spesso sui i bambini più grandi che su quelli più piccoli. Storicamente, la prevalenza del lavoro individuale è stata spostata verso il lavoro diadico/familiare. I più comuni metodi attivi erano cantare e suonare con strumenti. I bambini con disturbo dello spettro autistico (ASD) sono stati maggiormente rappresentati insieme a pazienti pediatrici e bambini con disabilità dello sviluppo. Le interazioni fra membri familiari e fattori positivi sono state enfatizzate, come è stata sottolineata l'importanza del divertimento e del piacere in tutti i gruppi di clienti. I risultati affermano quanto siano necessarie informazioni più specifiche sugli effetti della musicoterapia nell’infanzia. Inoltre, in futuro dovrebbero essere presi in considerazione settori di ricerca, punti di vista inter-scientifici e campi d'interesse comuni. (Abstract tradotto da Claudio Cominardi)
