Abstract

Negli Stati Uniti, i bambini che subiscono traumi o abusi ricevono servizi attraverso i Centri di Patrocinio minorile (CAC – Child Advocacy Cednters).  Oltre 800 CAC hanno fornito cure e servizi a circa 325.000 bambini nel 2016 (National Children's Alliance, 2016b). I CAC coordinano il lavoro di gruppi multidisciplinari (MDT), tra cui forze dell'ordine, gruppi di salute mentale, personale medico e sociale, per aiutare  bambini e famiglie a guarire.  I CAC sono gruppi autonomi costituiti da affiliazioni con molte agenzie locali. Questo articolo fornisce una descrizione degli standard della National Children Alliance (NCA) per l'implementazione del trattamento, incluso lo stato di implementazione della musicoterapia nei CAC. La letteratura ha dimostrato che la musicoterapia può essere utile per rispondere alle esigenze di bambini e famiglie che hanno subito traumi, suggerendo che ciò potrebbe offrire una modalità di trattamento utile nei CAC. Tuttavia, la musicoterapia è raramente disponibile nei CAC. Questo può essere, in parte, il risultato della mancanza di studi randomizzati controllati, un fattore chiave determinante per l'inclusione nella bibliografia annotata che accompagna gli NCA standards (National Children's Alliance, 2013). La pratica della musicoterapia ha affrontato i bisogni clinici di bambini e adolescenti che sono stati abusati. Questo lavoro viene spesso descritto in riflessioni cliniche, ma non in studi randomizzati e controllati. La musicoterapia non è attualmente inclusa nelle modalità di trattamento utilizzate dai CAC, a causa della mancanza di una base di evidenze. Questo articolo tenta di sintetizzare le informazioni disponibili per fornire ai CAC lo stato attuale della ricerca in musicoterapia con bambini vittime di abusi. Fornisce anche ai musicoterapisti una profondità di informazioni sulla struttura e la funzione dei CAC, inclusa una sintesi degli NCA Standard of Practice. L'articolo presenta una descrizione per l'implementazione dei servizi di musicoterapia in un CAC nel New Jersey, e include raccomandazioni per musicoterapisti che desiderano cercare opportunità per la pratica clinica ai CAC. (Traduzione di Claudio Cominardi)
