Resumo

The spread of the practice of self-mutilation in social networks presents us with a problem that has been concerned with specialists in mental health and education, who have organized lectures and events on the subject. This increase in the prevalence of self-mutilation behavior has already been considered by psychiatrists as an “epidemic” of self-inflicted punishment for young people with emotional or psychological distress. Teachers and health professionals draw attention about the ignorance of parents and / or guardians who often do not understand the self-injurious behavior of their children. Given this, arises the opportunity of this research. This is a quasi-experimental, before and after, mixed-method study that sought to investigate the possible contributions of music therapy in the treatment of a group of self-using adolescents admitted to the Children's Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSi). For quantitative data collection, the Barrat Impulsivity Scale version 11 (Barrat Impulsivity Scale - BIS-11) and the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation Scale (FASM) were used. The visits (music therapy interventions) were conducted in a closed group of up to ten participants, over a period of three months, weekly, lasting between 50 and 60 minutes. During the meetings the musical experiences of musical re-creation, musical hearing and musical composition were used. Results showed a decrease in self-mutilation behaviors as well as a decrease in impulsivity. The experiences of recreation and hearing effectively contributed to the described result, while the composition experience contributed to the regulation, structuring, expression, communication and resignification of feelings and emotions, as well as to interpersonal interaction through identification. We consider that the study was of significant relevance in consolidating Music Therapy in adolescent mental health care, since it made it possible to better understand the phenomenon of self-mutilation and its facets in this population.
