Katarina Habe zagovor: 6. december 2023 Doktorska disertacija z naslovom Prepletanje funkcionalnega in psihoterapevtskega vidika v glasbeni terapiji z osebami s težkimi motnjami v razvoju obravnava glasbeno terapijo otrok, mladostnikov in odraslih s težkimi motnjami v razvoju (v nadaljevanju TMvR) kot eno ključnih disciplin za iskanje rešitev, ki bi pripomogla k zadovoljevanju potreb takšnih oseb na različnih področjih njihovega funkcioniranja. Ob predpostavki, da kompleksne motnje zahtevajo kompleksne obravnave, raziskujemo psihoterapevtske in funkcional- ne pristope ter njihovo medsebojno prepletenost v glasbeni terapiji z osebami s TMvR. Cilj raziskave je bil pridobiti sliko o aktualni mednarodni praksi glasbene terapije z ose- bami s TMvR ter raziskati možnosti in izzive, ki jih vidijo strokovnjaki na izpostavlje- nem področju. V ta namen smo po temeljitem branju obstoječe tuje in slovenske lite- rature izvedli tri raziskave. Prva je kvantitativna raziskava, kjer so glasbeni terapevti reševali mednarodni vprašalnik o terapevtskem delu z osebami s TMvR, o uporabi psi- hoterapevtskih in funkcionalnih pristopov v praksi ter o njihovem sodelovanju v inter- disciplinarnem timu. Druga, kvalitativna raziskava je s pomočjo skupinske razprave pre- učevala problematiko z vidika mednarodnih strokovnjakov glasbene terapije z osebami s TMvR. Tretja raziskava pa je dopolnila pogled glasbenih terapevtov s pogledi drugih strokovnih profilov, vključenih v obravnavo oseb s TMvR. Kvalitativna analiza zapisov različnih strokovnjakov o prizorih glasbene terapije razkriva podobnosti in razlike v nji- hovi razlagi izbranih odlomkov videoposnetkov glasbene terapije. Doktorska disertaci- ja ima pomemben znanstveni in aplikativni prispevek; izvedena raziskava je ena izmed redkih, ki obravnava populacijo s TMvR, ponudi vpogled v pomen integracije psihote- rapevtskih in funkcionalnih pristopov glasbene terapije ter pri tem izhaja iz aktualnih nevroznanstvenih spoznanj. Aplikativni prispevek je viden v tem, da je doktorska nalo- ga prva v Sloveniji s področja glasbene terapije. Tudi na mednarodni ravni je ta specifič- na tematika raziskana prvič.

Katarina Habe Public defence: 6th December 2023 This doctoral thesis, entitled Intertwining of Functional and Psychotherapeutic Orientation in Music Therapy with People with Severe Disabilities (hereinafter SDD), addresses music therapy for children, adolescents and adults with SDD as a key discipline in meeting their needs in various functional areas. Assuming that complex disorders require com- plex treatments, we explore psychotherapeutic and functional approaches and their in- terplay in music therapy with individuals with SDD. The aim was to gain an overview of current international practice in music therapy with individuals with SDD and to ex- plore the opportunities and challenges seen by professionals in the field. After examin- ing the existing foreign and Slovenian literature, three studies were performed. The first was a quantitative study where music therapists answered an international questionnaire about therapeutic work with individuals with SDD, the use of psychotherapeutic and functional approaches in practice, and their participation in an interdisciplinary team. The second, qualitative study explored the issue from the perspective of international experts in music therapy with individuals with SDD using a focus group discussion. The third study complemented the perspective of music therapists with the perspectives of other professionals involved in the treatment of individuals with SDD. Qualitative anal- ysis of different professionals’ descriptions of music therapy scenes reveals similarities and differences in their interpretation of selected excerpts from videorecorded music therapy sessions. The doctoral thesis makes an important scientific and applied contri- bution, representing one of the few studies to address individuals with SDD. Drawing on current neuroscientific knowledge, it offers insights into the importance of integrat- ing psychotherapeutic and functional approaches to music therapy. This is the first Slo- venian doctoral thesis in the field of music therapy, attesting to its practical contribution to the field. It is also the first time that this specific topic has been researched interna- tionally.
