关于即兴的思考: 以艺术为基础的自反性如何为音乐治疗师在音乐治疗中的幽默体验提供新的认识

摘要

 作为一项大型研究的一部分研究幽默在痴呆症患者音乐治疗中的作用,本文详细介绍了音乐治疗师如何在实践中感知、体现和体验幽默。三个由音乐治疗师(N=9)参与的焦点组,通过基于艺术的自反方法组织和分析结果数据。基于Schenstead(2012)对艺术的自反性的阐述,通过即兴创作突出了两种不同且重叠的思维形式:自我反思和合作反思。Finlay's(2011)的现象学生活世界导向问题被用来解释幽默体验的程度,并构建广泛的主题反思。即兴创作作为一种存在方式与音乐治疗中的幽默之间的特殊对应关系通过第一作者参与的团体即兴进行了表演性的探索. 这项综合研究的结果为音乐治疗师提供了如何在他们的工作中把幽默理解为支持关系联结,以及如何将幽默理解为疏远和防御行为的见解。除了在相关治疗工作中感知到的幽默风险外,娱乐性和专业性之间的复杂平衡也作为音乐治疗身份的一部分浮出水面。即兴创作,虽然看似理所当然地被视为自发幽默的一部分,但作为一个与心理动力学相一致的音乐治疗师,学习即兴创作的严肃性也是需要被重视问题。这些重要的发现对音乐治疗的教学和实践,以及即兴思考的方法论意义进行了讨论。
