Il programma di sostegno per l'abuso di bambini reattivi, è stato avviato in Sud Africa dalla Teddy Bear Clinic (una NPO istituita per proteggere i bambini vittime di abusi), in risposta all'aumento della delinquenza tra minorenni in questo Paese. Questo programma a breve termine mira a offrire una riabilitazione olistica ai delinquenti sessuali minorili incensurati, e integra approcci di diversione accanto a programmi creativi, compresa la musicoterapia di gruppo. Basato su una recensione delle mie note di sessione, questo articolo prende in considerazione le sfide e gli sviluppi positivi che ho sperimentato nel tempo come musicoterapista del programma dal 2006 al 2016. Nonostante abbia spesso trovato questo lavoro caotico, i risultati suggeriscono che, attraverso la co-creazione, un programma di musicoterapia di specifico contesto che abbia affiancato membri del gruppo, staff clinico e la più ampia comunità, ha offerto un complemento sempre più rilevante e valido al programma di diversione.
Inoltre, sono evidenziate le sfide continue all'interno di questo lavoro. (Traduzione di Claudio Cominardi)
