Ego Functioning

The author suggests that the origin of musicality is implied in an implicit musical language every human being possesses in uterus due to a resonance and attunement with prenatal environment, mainly the mother. It is emphasized that ego-development and evolving implicit musical language can be regarded as parallel processes. To support this idea a lot of examples of musical representations are demonstrated by the author. Music is viewed as a tone of ego-functioning involving the musical representations of bodily and visceral senses, cross-modal perception, unity of sense of self, individual fate of ego, and tripolar and bipolar musical coping codes. Finally, a special form of music therapy is shown to illustrate how can implicit musical language be transformed into explicit language by virtue of participants’ spontaneity, creativity, and playfulness.

The Relationship

What love actually is, why and how it is experienced, has moved the ancient world as well: poets and philosophers have asked these questions in great intensity. This book by the renowned Tübingen philologist presents the most beautiful testimonies from Homer to Apuleius in translations or lectures. In the course of a multitude of subtle interpretations, the author elaborates on the various texts and their insights into the essence of love, its causes and varieties of experience. Dominant topics are: Overpowered by a Godhead, the quest for happiness, unity and perfection; love and beauty; love as illness, wound and suffering; betrayal, adultery, murder and death; love as the origin of the world and its movement. As for non-erotic love: the nature of friendship, the cause of parental love, the sense of self-love, and the presupposition and consequence of the love of God for a human being. The comparison with post-antique literature or recent love discourses and the relationship with our own conception of love accompany the interpretations.

Abstract Told through my experiences of working with three teenagers who had mild and moderate developmental disabilities, this autoethnographic study considers identity formation as a core concept in music therapy clinical practice. In doing so, I explored theories of identity formation, including those described by Erikson (1950, Childhood and society, Norton), Marcia and colleagues (1993, Ego identity: A handbook for psychosocial research, Springer), and Crocetti, Rubini, and Meeus (2008, Journal of Adolescence, 31(2), 207–222), relating these concepts to each of the teenagers I worked with. This article, therefore, chronicles the ways in which my clinical thinking shifted from a skills-based approach to one that considers the client’s identity as a whole, leading to suggestions of ways to integrate identity formation theory into clinical practice.

Narad ji once asked Lord Shri Vishnu where do you live. Then he said, O Narada, neither do I live in Baikunth nor in the heart of yogis. But I am present in a tangible form where my devotees sing. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)New experiments are taking place in the human world full of knowledge and science. When these experiments become an integral part of life, then the human being then moves into innovative research. Although music itself is a science, yet years of austerity are required for its achievement. Here, for some time, the attention of scientists has gone towards music, but due to lack of functional knowledge of music, not every scientist can pay attention to it. भगवान श्री विष्णु से एक बार नारद जी ने पूछा आप कहां रहते हैं। तब उन्होंने कहा हे नारद ना ही मैं बैकुण्ठ में रहता हूं और ना ही योगियों के हृदय मे।ं लेकिन मेरे भक्त जहां गायन वादन करते हैं वहां मैं मूर्त रूप में उपस्थित रहता हूं। (नारद भक्ति सूत्र)ज्ञान-विज्ञान से परिपूर्ण मानव-जगत में नित नए प्रयोग हो रहे हैं। जब ये प्रयोग जीवन के अभिन्न अंग बन जाते हैं, तब मानव फिर अभिनव अनुसंधान में प्रवृत्त हो जाता है। यद्यपि संगीत स्वयं एक विज्ञान है, किन्तु अभी उसकी सिद्धी के लिए वर्षों की तपस्या अपेक्षित है। इधर कुछ समय से वैज्ञानिकों का ध्यान संगीत की ओर गया है, लेकिन संगीत के क्रियात्मक ज्ञान के अभाव के कारण हर वैज्ञानिक इस ओर ध्यान नहीं दे सकता।
