Raglio, Alfredo: Qualitative Research<br />

As Benenzon has said ,the first objective is the music therapist and his<br />

VISSUTO CORPOREO-SONORO-MUSICALE.<br />

The field <strong>of</strong> the research is made up <strong>of</strong> the global non-verbal contest and<br />

the reading <strong>of</strong> the events is analogicus;the body dimension has a<br />

fundamental importance on the expressive-communicative level,but also on<br />

the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the data above all in the second phase <strong>of</strong> the research.<br />

Considering the complexity and the high number <strong>of</strong> variables in this<br />

research,I think that the quantitative value <strong>of</strong> the data will not come from<br />

one single experience but from the sum <strong>of</strong> many experiences:thus it will be<br />

possible to verify the possibility <strong>of</strong> extending the method <strong>of</strong> the research<br />

and the application <strong>of</strong> the Observation Protocols.<br />

To sum it up the results <strong>of</strong> our research are general and non dogmatic or<br />

categorical;however they can back up the scientific presuppositions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

discipline and improve the quality and efficacy <strong>of</strong> therapeutic interventions.<br />

To conclude I would like to quote a sentence by Starobinski (1960) which<br />

can be applied to research both in psychotherapy and even better in music<br />

therapy.:"Scientific maturity means accepting imprecision,when it cannot<br />

be rationally dominated,and rejecting false precision."<br />
