Medical Neurohumanities: Sharing Insights from Medicine, Neuroscience and Music in Pediatric Care
Neurohumanities have long been debated but seldom applied in medicine, with the important relationship between music sciences, music therapy, and pediatric care remaining underexplored. As our understanding of the – young – brain continues to expand, it is crucial to create a shared lexicon that connects music, neuroscience, technological innovations, pediatrics, and healthcare. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we can deepen our comprehension of the working mechanisms of music therapies and medical interventions for pediatric patients. Sharing insights, approaches, methods, and interventions promotes interdisciplinary understanding, enabling the development of more effective, patient-centered healthcare strategies that consider ethical aspects, shared therapeutic goals, and medical responsibilities.
Psychological Implications of Preterm Birth
Preterm birth which comprises about 10% of births globally has significant short and long term implications for the child, its parents and the wider family. It poses a significant physical and mental health as well as economic burden on society. While the physical health complications of preterm birth are reasonably well documented in the literature, the data in terms of psychological impacts is still quite thin, especially for the long term. Indeed, preterm birth and the precocious hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) might be highly distressful for both infants and parents. Different sources of stress (e.g., lights and sounds, parental separation, invasive and painful...
Music and Music Therapy Interventions in Clinical Practice
This textbook aims to provide practical and comprehensive guidance on the application of music and music therapy in clinical settings. The chapters are written with an evidence-based approach. The first part of the volume defines the psychological, biological, and neuroscientific basis of the therapeutic use of music. Then, various chapters describe the main application techniques (both active and receptive) exploring their therapeutic rationale, purposes, applications in preventive and therapeutic-rehabilitation settings, and possible methods of assessment. An overview of the main clinical areas addressed by music-based therapeutic interventions is also presented, including references to sc...
Early Vocal Contact and Preterm Infant Brain Development
This book synthesizes and analyzes research on early vocal contact (EVC) for preterm infants, an early healthcare strategy aimed at reducing the long-term impact of neonatal hospitalization, minimizing negative impacts of premature birth, and promoting positive brain development. Chapters begin by examining research on the maternal voice and its unique and fundamental role in infant development during the fetal and neonatal period. The book discusses the rationale for EVC with preterm infants, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms, and the challenges for infants’ development. Subsequent chapters highlight various EVCs that are used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), including ...
