Explaining the world to children - with music

By Dorothea Kästner

The book deals with the limitations and possibilities of music therapy work within the context of a children's home with an educational focus. It explores its possible applications, effects and the scope for networking between art - especially music - education and therapy. The book focuses on music therapy based on the morphologically oriented model developed by the 'Research Group on Morphology and Music Therapy' led by Weymann, T pker, Weber and Grootaers, which has proven particularly practical in the specific situation of children's homes. The balancing act between educational and therapeutic thinking within the organisational framework of such a field of work and the flexibility in role behaviour that is essential for this - a permanent shift between figure and background - are placed in a morphological-psychological context. The implementation within the author's work in a child and youth welfare institution over a period of approximately two and a half years is described as a reflection.
