The influence of John Bean's music therapy method and of music therapy in general in body spatial representation in people with cerebral palsy (2004-2010)

Abstract

Believing in the principle of normalization implies believing that all people deserve a society that defends human rights. A society that respects each person's characteristics and particularities, must respond differently to the needs of its constituents, whether or not they are "normal" or have problems. Thus, this article, based on a quantitative/qualitative research approach, discusses the influence of John Bean's music therapy method and of music therapy in general on the spatial representation of the body in people with cerebral palsy.
