Abstract

Il seguente articolo descrive un processo orientato sui sistemi e sulla musica nativa per valutare le percezioni dei bambini dei loro sistemi familiari. È stato sviluppato per l'uso in contesti di musicoterapia individuale e familiare, con bambini che hanno subito traumi legati al cambiamento delle situazioni familiari (inclusi figli adottivi, bambini adottati di recente, bambini recentemente riuniti a genitori biologici, e bambini che hanno perso temporaneamente o definitivamente un membro importante della famiglia). È stato anche progettato per l'uso con bambini di età pari o superiore a cinque anni. Nella valutazione, il bambino utilizza strumenti musicali per creare un ritratto familiare musicale e visivo. Esso sceglie uno strumento per rappresentarsi, suona una breve improvvisazione che rappresenta se stesso e posiziona lo strumento da qualche parte nello spazio davanti ai familiari. Il bambino identifica quindi un membro della famiglia e ripete il processo per quel membro della famiglia: scegliere uno strumento, esegue un'improvvisazione e posiziona lo strumento da qualche parte in relazione al primo. Questo processo si ripete finché il bambino non ha rappresentato tutti i membri della famiglia che desidera includere. Il terapista può ricavare informazioni salienti sulle percezioni del bambino sul proprio sistema familiare attraverso i membri della famiglia scelti, gli strumenti scelti, gli elementi musicali dell'improvvisazione e le relazioni spaziali nel ritratto visivo. (Traduzione di Claudio Cominardi)
