En integrativ terapeutisk anvendelse af sang med udgangspunkt i neuropsykologiske, psykofysiologiske og psykodynamiske teorier

How is it possible to carry out therapeutic interventions so that clients with severe neurological disorders, e.g. persons with dementia, are able to achieve insight and therapeutic change? This question is given an answer by describing the therapeutic application of singing from following three perspectives: neuropsychological, psychophysiological and psychodynamic. It is concluded that the therapist arrange the therapeutic setting with knowledge about the client's human resources and neurological deficits, especially focussing on problems with attention function, with knowledge about how intersubjectivity is dependent on arousal regulation techniques and a social engagement system, and not least bearing in mind that the effect of the therapy is dependent on interactions on an emotional level in dyadic resonance - with attention on the clients psychosocial needs.
