‘Waking up’ to the symbolic: a psychoanalytic investigation into the effects of a music workshop for children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs)

Abstract:

The research Rhythm effects as psychic structuring function in children with PDD aimed to follow the effects of a musical atelier on a group of children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders - PPD. We worked with the hypotheses that the attention to musical proprieties can favor language development and social binding in these cases. Starting from clinical clippings built through the psychoanalytic method, this article discusses in which way the music associated to psychoanalysis can favor the emergence of the desiring subject.
