Beskrivelse
Music therapists are currently navigating and practicing in a complex landscape with huge challenges concerning climate break down, the biodiversity crisis and a mental health crisis where we face an increase in depression, burn out, stress and anxiety worldwide. This multiplicity of complex crises is affecting the health care systems. Health care institutions in the Nordic countries are challenged by problems with recruiting care staff, stress and burn-out, which has been labelled as the Care Crisis in the Nordic Welfare states.In the keynote, I address how we as music therapists understand our selves in these circumstances and how we can contribute to a greater caring capacity in the health institutions where we work. Focusing on the concepts of attunement and resonance, I will give examples on how music therapists can work with indirect practices and create parallel caring processes in dementia care and hospitals. The keynote draws on research on attunement mainly from dementia care and neurology. I will furthermore introduce the regenerative paradigm as a framework for understanding music therapy practice in the complex and challenging time that we live in. Research on implementing training in person attuned musical interactions (PAMI) and hereby developing a caring care culture in nursing homes will also be presented.
