Music therapy and play offer powerful ways for the child and parent to connect with each other.

“Online application of group musical choice method during pandemic Covid-19”
The method is based on the qualitative analysis of the song lyric in MCM (musical choice method) which defines the MCM forms: form of resistance, neutral songs, songs focused on different stages of grief, separation anxiety, phenomenon of psychopathology or dependency. The aim of this masterclass is to show how we can easily follow the process of adaptation to loss during pandemic Covid -19 by using the musical choice method, as a possibility of early detection of complicated grief reactions / stagnation in the grieving process which carries the risk of later psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders. This method can also detect anticipatory anxiety, clearly distinguishing persons with mature and maladaptive defenses and persons with the capacity for deeper decompensation.
