Abstract

Intervista con il Dr. Dag Körlin: discussione sulla respirazione musicale

Abstract

Per molti anni, il Dr. Körlin, un noto professionista e formatore primario di Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), ha sviluppato la pratica del Music Breathing (MB) come adattamento di GIM. È stata perciò condotta un'intervista semi-strutturata in inglese con lui per approfondire l'esperienza di apprendimento della formazione MB. La prima parte del programma completo di formazione del Dr. Körlin per MB è stata avviata nel 2019, e da allora sempre più terapisti GIM sono stati incoraggiati a praticare clinicamente MB. Viene esaminata una breve descrizione delle fasi del MB, le motivazioni alla base di questo sviluppo e altre innovazioni nell'adattamento delle tecniche GIM specifiche per la popolazione psichiatrica. Seguendo il contenuto della trascrizione dell'intervista, l'autore identificherà i meriti chiave di questa tecnica e fornirà un collegamento Web a un breve video clip, allo scopo di promuovere MB ai medici e al pubblico in generale. In conclusione, MB è una risorsa utile per i musicoterapisti.
