The University of Bergen, Norway The framing of music therapy in research articles involving dementia Oleksandr Kapranov PhD, post-doctoral researcher The present article involves a qualitative study aimed at establishing how music therapy in dementia is framed in scientific texts published by the peer-reviewed journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia within the period of time from 2015 until the end of 2016. Dementia is referred to in scientific literature as a range of neurodegenerative illnesses of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most well-known and prevalent variant (Van Gorp & Vercruysse, 2012: 1274). According to the definition of dementia by Alzheimer’s Association, dementia is classified as aneurocognitive disorder, characterised by a significant cognitive decline, ‘a decline in memory, language, problem-solving and other cognitive skills that affects a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. This decline occurs because nerve cells (neurons) in parts of the brain involved in cognitive function have been damaged and no longer function normally.’ (Alzheimer’s Association, 2015: 333). (2015) suggest that music therapy reduces depressive symptoms, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts and inner tension. (2016: 429) posit that Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia are among the disorders most commonly treated with music therapy. (1999: 9) who indicate that it is problematic to determine the relative efficacy of different methodological protocols within the existing literature pertaining to the effectiveness of music therapy intervention when dealing with clients with dementia.
