Ladies and Gentlemen,
Raglio, Alfredo: Qualitative Research
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Alfredo Raglio, Istituto Ospedaliero di Sospiro, Cremona - Italy
I am very happy to be here and have the opportunity of speaking of the
research work that has engaged us since the beginning of the music therapy
treatment.
I think that it is important to point out that the research was done in the “
Istituto Ospedaliero di Sospiro “ ( Sospiro , Cremona , Italia ).
This institution has also financed the project which was planned out by a
Music Therapy team consisting of two music therapists (Alfredo Raglio ,
Fiorenzo Puerrari ) , a psychiatrist ( Maria Elisabetta Galizzi ) under the
supervision of Dr. Rolando O. Benenzon .
TABLE I
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
• The theoretical principles for this type of treatment are based on
R.O.Benenzon's and on D.Sterne's theories.
• Use of sound-music improvisation (active MusicTherapy) in a non-verbal
context.
• The sound-music element is seen as the expression of the sound identity
(ISO).
• The sound-music element is used as an expressive way in the framework of
communication in the relationship( in this case the sound and the sound
object turn into intermediary objects).
