“From resonance to attachment - Using Systemic Listening Therapy to promote awareness and attachment.”

Why does listening to Mozart symphonies enhance a child’s openness and capacity to form close attachments with others? How do sounds of Mozart’s music calm newborns and enable them to better sense their bodies? How does hearing and listening connect to a person’s heart?

In their book, Dirk Beckedorf and Franz Müller will systematically and clearly expound on the psychosomatic foundations for human hearing, the history, areas of application as well as the practice of of systemic listening therapy.

The strength of this book lies in its ability to build bridges between various disciplines. The authors are able to embed the subject of human hearing with the discussions on modern Attachment Theory and the latest in brain research. Through this interdisciplinary vantage point, the idea of the ear and its associated function of hearing are experiencing an unexpected, timely relevance. “I am convinced that this book will open up many new spheres of treatment. It can benefit practitioners of psychotherapy, body, trauma, children and youth centered psychotherapy. As well as affected parents who experience listening therapy with their children.” (Thomas Harms)
