Indian Classical Music Therapy for Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Case Study
Keywords:

Music therapy is transitioning from a social science model that focuses on overall health and well-being to a neuroscientific research field that focuses on addressing motor, cognitive, language, emotional and social deficits in people with neurological disorders. As music therapy in India is nascent and still evolving, there is a need at this stage to make use of the rich musical resources to develop culturally sensitive approaches, techniques, or methods adaptable to clinical applications. The current case report of Rahul, 29 years, diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, delineates the benefits of structured Indian classical music intervention towards various cognitive goals, sensory goals, communication goals, improved physical and emotional response, behavior improvement, social cognition, and musical goals. Music therapy assessment and multi-modal problem analysis help identify significant strengths, potentials and resources, which may not be apparent in other formalized assessments. Thus, it can facilitate the development of a systematic method for measuring response to therapy.
