Abstract

Il suono delle case perdute – Presentazione del modello COVER – Quadro teorico e approfondimento pratico sulla musicoterapia con rifugiati e richiedenti asilo

 Abstract

 A causa della difficile situazione dei rifugiati, lavorare con questo gruppo è impegnativo. Tuttavia, la musicoterapia è un metodo adatto per un intervento terapeutico precoce. Gli autori presentano il modello di classificazione sensibile al contesto per interventi musicoterapici con i rifugiati, il modello COVER, il quale si basa su pratiche ed esperienze musicoterapiche che utilizzano un approccio di informazione sul trauma con i rifugiati in Germania. Il modello COVER può servire come linea guida per i musicoterapisti che lavorano con i rifugiati in circostanze insicure. Questo modello applica interventi musicoterapici all'ambiente di vita naturale dei rifugiati, consentendo interventi precoci che possono essere un beneficio cruciale per la salute psicologica sia dei rifugiati, sia dei musicoterapisti che lavorano in quest'area.
