Joseph Moreno and Music Healing: Fifty Years or Fifty Thousand?

Follow
Sérgio Guimarães

How old is music therapy? This is one of the questions that professor emeritus Joseph Moreno typically asks at the beginning of his workshops, followed by: “Why is it that in our modern psychotherapy there is basically the therapist and the client just sitting there and talking?”. The main point the nephew of J. L. Moreno tries to make here is that each person has different ways of expressing themselves, and verbal expression is neither necessarily the most profound nor the most honest one. “Some people can be more comfortable to express themselves through music, art, dance and drama”, he says, before showing musical instruments like the Australian didgeridoo, the bamboomade valiha from Madagascar and the American Navajo rattle. Of course, there is more to it than that.
