Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is a subject that has always fascinated and intrigued me; a closed and impenetrable universe that, after years of research, traditional and modern approaches are allowing us to understand and treat therapeutically. I tried to understand what is hidden in the mysterious and particular world of the autistic child; I wanted, therefore, to deepen this particular condition.It is extremely difficult to establish contact with these children, but the therapeutic use of music can be a more direct form of communication when the possibility of using traditional linguistic codes is lost. Music therapy, as a technique for opening communication channels, thus becomes the ideal therapy to approach autistic children. would you like to know more about autism? would you like to know more about music therapy? In the last twenty years on the national scene, as already for some time abroad, art therapies are emerging with increasing importance, or at least diffusion, and in particular music therapy which has now become a known and accredited practice.If we talk about music therapy today, we usually refer to an area of rehabilitation or treatment, which presupposes that we are in the sphere of discomfort. if you are interested and would like to know more, just click and buy this book!
