The problem of the child who has the attentiveness lack excessive behavior obstacle put his or her family in predicament and as the child gets older, it supplementally becomes more serious problems such as learning obstacle, behavior problem and so on. If this condition would be left without any action, the child would have a permanent personality obstacle, accordingly, this would be developed into an antisocial personality. Eventually, this child would commit crimes, A lot of research have been done, however, any research of which reason was accurately or precisely defined has not been done yet. Medicinal Therapy and Behavioral Therapy is generally used for the treatment of these obstacles, however, they are all done just for a short-term. Therefore, the current situation is that the more research is demanded.
Accordingly, this research tries to find the effects that the musical therapy has influence on the behavior control of the child who has the attentiveness lack excessive behavior obstacle, following misbehavior.
The Individual Music Therapy of which objects were three children with misbehavior after being diagnosed as ADHD and which was done from February to April, 2002 for thirty minutes, two times a week, total 36 times which was 12 times per a case.
This research is made of quantitative and qualitative researches. In the quantitative research, the child's self-elasticity standard, language development standard, gloominess standard, misbehavior standard, excessive behaviour standard, social relationship standard, psychiatric symptom standard before and after the Musical therapy were measured through the KPI-C Test. The instrument performance time which was shown in the middle of the Music therapy was measured by Duration Recording and the frequency of the inappropriate language, seat leave, and behavior no following the instruction were measured by Event Recording. That which activities have influence on the behavior control meaningfully was analyzed among the Music therapy used in the session by cases. In the qualitative research, every session's Music therapy contents and the change of psychological & musical reaction were concretely written by the Narrative Recording and analyzed synthetically in the perspective of the mutual relationship between a child and a therapist.
To establish the Music therapy, the conditions and environments of the child were considered, the inappropriate behavior types by cases were diagnosed, the schemes by stages were created, and the individual Music therapy was applied in the each stage.
The Music therapy program was made of keyed instrument learning, improvisatorial performance, music appreciation, drawing, sing along, and song writing according to the everytime's reaction and characteristic of the child per cases.
It led the child into the musical behavior control(expression) through the process of reception, sympathy, direction amendment on the basis of humanism.
The research result is that the A and B cases show a meaningful change and the C case doesn't show any meaning. The research outcome shows that The case A and B has a meaningful change and the case C has no meaningful change in the proactive and action Korean version of KPI-C Test. The quantitative outcome of Music Therapy results from 1)the comparison by the behavior type and 2)the change of behavior control capability by the music activity type that were measured by Data Collection.
In an attempt to study changes in the behavior control of children, the results of measuring the instrument performance time, the seat leave without notice, the inappropriate language usage, and no following to the instruction showed, in the case A, that their interest in the improvisatorial performance appeared in the 6th round of the rhythm performance, and the other showed gradual decrease.
In the case B, the instrument performance time made remarkable increase between the 8th and 12th round, and the inappropriate language usage showed lots of ups and downs. No following to introduction decreased on the whole, telling of their success in the behavior control in a degree.
In the case C, the instrument performance began to decrease from the 8th round, but showed its dramatic increase in the 7th round. No following to the introduction showed increase until the 3rd round in the child. After consulting with the therapist in the 4th round, the child established the credit between them, and resulted in striking decrease in the 6th round. After the 7th round of consulting, the child continued decreasing and showed remarkable progress in the behavior control.
Through the analysis of the qualitative research, the delicate change of the inner part of the child causes the natural improvement of the stability of mind condition such as anger and so on and of the technical capability of the mutual action, and accordingly, it has related to the behavior control meaningfully.
In the A case's child, the instrument performance time during the improvisatorial performance showed the highest increase. The frequency of the seat leave without notice and inappropriate language usage showed the highest decrease through the process of the song writing.
In the B case, the instrument performance time had the highest increase during the song writing. The frequency of the seat leave without notice and inappropriate language usage, and no following to the instruction showed the highest decrease through the process of the music appreciation activity.
In the C case, the instrument performance time had the highest increase during the song writing, The frequency of the seat leave without notice and no following to the instruction showed the highest decrease through the process of the sing along. The frequency of the inappropriate language usage showed the highest decrease through the process of the improvisatorial performance.
The limitation of this research is that it was finished at the moment showing the dramatic change of the object due to the short-term measurement and observation of the each child's reaction. That leaves a sort of regret, however, the individual Music therapy was effective in the perspectives of finding the causing problems and of acting & coping of the individual Music therapy for just one child every session. Besides, the research can be meaningful in the aspect that it shows some results of the inappropriate behavior control problems of the object proposed in this research.
