Abstract

The use of music therapy in the follow-up of pregnancy and preparation for birth is an innovative strategy for the development of self-knowledge, emotional expression and ambivalent feeling and creativity elaboration and discovery of adaptive skills to deal with the change and transformation that the process of pregnancy and parenting triggers in the pregnant couple. Starting from the theoretical bases of pregnancy psychology and the particular dimensions of music as a temporal experience and emotional expression of psychological ambivalence, a theorization about the fundamentals of music therapy in pregnancy will be described. As an illustration of this theorization, the guidelines and functioning of a pioneering program of prenatal music therapy for pregnant couples from 22 weeks of gestation will also be described.
