“…Understanding the experiences of individuals who have been systematically disenfranchised is essential for emancipation from conditions that are oppressive (Hadley & Thomas, 2018). Music therapists also need to integrate their service users' values, genders, beliefs, and cultures through cultural empathy while understanding that music traditions, interpretations, and meanings may differ among different cultures (Brown, 2002;Hadley & Norris, 2016;Mondanaro, 2016). Due to the growing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States, in addition to the importance of the therapeutic relationship in determining a service user's success, there is a need to identify how aspects of critical theory and critical pedagogy are incorporated in music therapy higher education curricula.…”

“…Music is an excellent medium through which a patient's needs and expectations can be situated within his or her social and cultural community. Culture-centered or culture-specific practice has been relevant for years within the community music therapy landscape (47,48), and has slowly found its way also into the field of medical music therapy (49,50). "If you do not respect the culture of another person then you do not respect the person.…”

Humanization of care is becoming an increasingly important aspect in providing high-quality health services and the arts are more and more implemented to support and foster humanization and person-centered care efforts. Musical experiences are one of the most frequently encountered art forms in medical settings. Music therapy as a healthcare profession has a decades-long tradition in hospitals, both in inpatient and outpatient areas. However, while studies regarding the effectiveness of music therapy are on the forefront of clinical research, little attention has been paid to the profession's inherent opportunities to assist the hospitals' strategies in terms of humanization of care. Yet, the musical experiences in music therapy are especially versatile in supporting healthcare users from a holistic perspective, contributing to a more compassionate, personalized, and humanized environment. In this article, the basic pillars of humanized and person-centered care will be outlined, followed by examples of seven intersections in which the music therapy service of the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá aligns with its Humanized and Compassionate Care Model. The aim of this article is to stimulate the discussion on music therapy not only as a profession that provides safe and effective treatment, but also as a therapeutic art experience that can add value for hospitals on their path toward a more humanized care culture.

“…Song improvisation, songwriting, and trying to musically match their current moods, were some of the interventions used with the aim to acknowledge both 'positively' and 'negatively' associated feelings as normal experiences in such a situation. Being aware of over-iden-tification and the dynamics of transference and countertransference were essential in this sense and are important elements in medical music psychotherapy (Mondanaro, 2016).…”

“…While it was aimed at highlighting particular issues in each vignette, family-centred care, rituality or memory making are certainly transversal themes during end-of-life care in general and not limited to single experiences. Similarly, context and culture are underlying forces that influenced all the cases and are particularly important to bear in mind when working with families whose background differ from those of the music therapist (Forrest, 2011(Forrest, , 2014Mondanaro, 2016). In addition to cultural differences, mothers and fathers can experience distinct challenges when having a baby in the NICU (Mondanaro, Ettenberger, & Park, 2016), which may result in different ways of coping when facing the death of their baby (Capitulo, 2005;Kersting & Wagner, 2012).…”

Abstr Abstract actMusic therapy during end-of-life care has become an increasingly applied therapeutic option for a broad range of populations in a variety of settings. While music therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a well-established field of clinical research and practice, there is a lack of literature that specifically addresses issues related to end-of-life care in this setting. In this article, the author aims to reflect upon some of the potentials, difficulties, and challenges when accompanying babies and their families during their last stages of life in the NICU. Three case vignettes will be described in order to exemplify aspects related to rituality, culture, memory making, and family-centred care. It is hoped that these case studies prompt the exchange of ideas and experiences among music therapists and other health care professionals concerned with end-of-life care in the NICU. K Ke eywor ywords: ds: end-of-life care, music therapy, NICU, preterm infants, palliative care, family-centred care, Colombia Intr Introduction oductionAnother plausible model for an origin of early human music is the lament, a widespread performance by individuals or groups in which the natural behaviour of weeping and moaning in grief at the loss by death or separation from a loved one became formalized and elaborated in song/poetry/movement, and shared with others to relieve feelings of helplessness, individual isolation, despair, and the anxiety attendant on the interruption death makes to the life of an individual or group.
