This paper will present the case of an adult patient, his
history, the music therapy treatment and the
importance of his mother's involvement.
According to Dr. Ricardo Allegri the patient has cerebral
palsy.
The above-mentioned treatment began 10 years ago,
and continues at present with three weekly sessions.
We work on body dialogue with simultaneous listening
to melodies. The objects used as "intermediary objects"
are: the piano, the flute, percussion instruments, and
54
other materials such as: rings, balls, springs, sticks,
ribbons, etc..
Unable to communicate verbally, Willy has acquired,
and continues to acquire, a code of highly significant
communication which includes gestures through to
sounds.
At present the patient is 42 years old and has achieved
a degree of self-worth within his family setting and his
environment. He can ask when in need, and can accept
a "no" by the methods described.
