Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are marvelous case studies in the music therapy literature that paint a beautiful, complex picture of the client's therapeutic process in music therapy. Clinical Decision-making in Music Therapy, however, offers cases that are not just about the client and their therapeutic process, but specifically about the music therapist's clinical choices and why they made them in relation to the needs of the client. This book contains 53 cases from music therapy clinicians from around the world including work with diverse clientele from across the lifespan in a wide variety of settings. Each case includes a discussion of the music therapist's clinical choices, their reflection on the case, and a description of their context in relation to their clinical work. Cases are arranged according to the method-variation used, with additional sections that focus on a transition from one method-variation to another. Students will find these cases useful for exploring and understanding clinical decision-making for working with clientele with unique strengths and needs. Professionals may find the cases useful for expanding their ways of thinking and acting within their clinical work, and deepening their awareness of how they respond to the emergent needs of clients"--
Download or read book Music Therapists Decision Making in Music Together Within Therapy written by Carol Ann Blank and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music therapy clinical decision-making for individual parent-dyads has been guided by clinical reflections and program descriptions. Some research in clinical decision-making has been conducted, albeit not focused on the early childhood population. A growing number of board-certified music therapists offer a quasi-manualized program, Music Together Within Therapy, as an intervention option for their early childhood music therapy work. This study asks the question: What are the clinical decision-making processes music therapists undergo when working with parent-child dyads in a single individual music therapy session? Music therapists engage in a series of decision-making processes throughout the course of therapy. This study concerns only those processes that lead to clinical decisions that occur during the course of one session. To address the possible influences of education, training, and theoretical orientation on clinical decision-making for MTWT providers, one sub-question is: What role, if any, does the Music Together training and philosophy have in the music therapist’s process of decision-making that occurs during the course of one session? To address the clinician’s attention to parent training (an integral component of supporting child development) within their clinical decision-making process, the second sub-question is: How do music therapists who use MTWT incorporate parent training into their clinical decision-making process when they work with parent-child dyads? Music therapists who work with individual parent-child dyads using Music Together Within Therapy (MTWT) make clinical decisions based upon a set of driving forces: experiencing beauty, creating a musical container, providing opportunities for growth, and providing opportunities for relating. These driving forces and accompanying 14 belief statements regarding decision-making and the impact of the Music Together philosophy on music therapists’ clinical work were uncovered using an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design. Constructivist grounded theory method of the QUAL analysis of interview data (N = 3) framed the qualitative analysis; descriptive statistics evaluated the level of agreement among a larger body of music therapists who provide MTWT (N = 22). Respondents to the survey endorsed statements related to the MTWT program’s ability to support clinical decision-making: sufficient material for creating interventions, supporting dyad and individual, matching therapist’s clinical decision-making, facilitating collaboration between adults, and promoting dyad relation. A comparison of a larger body of MTWT providers situates the responses to the survey and provides context for the demographic assumptions. Based on the findings, a clinical decision-making framework is offered as a way to conceptualize music therapists’ decision-making processes when using the MTWT program. Music therapists’ approaches to songs and use of musical constructions in the service of supporting relationship development feature prominently in their decision-making. Approaches to songs via the MTWT Five Levels of Music appear to be situated within an articulated goal of empowering families, supported by the implementation of the (often tacit) manipulation of the elements of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre) to meet clinical aims based upon recognition of the driving forces.

Download or read book Listening and Decision making in Music Therapy Clinical Improvisation written by Marie-Fatima Rudolf and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-person arts-based research aims to explore the student-researcher's personal decision-making process during clinical improvisation in music therapy. In music therapy practice, clinical improvisation is a widely used intervention, and can have a significant impact on the client as well as the therapeutic development. Greater insight into this process could therefore be beneficial. Music therapy literature often highlights self-awareness and reflexivity as important factors for career success and longevity for music therapists. Awareness of how they experience their engagement in music therapy interventions is important and has been the focus of several recent studies. Through recorded improvisations in both mock clinical and mock performance settings, the student-researcher sought answers as to what informs her listening and decision-making procedures. Participants were recruited to participate in these mock improvisations, which were recorded; the recordings were then analyzed for similarities and differences pertaining to listening and decision-making. The study revealed that decisions were influenced by aural cues (elements heard in the music) visual cues, intuition, as well as knowledge and learned skills. Further recommendations and research are presented.

Download or read book Music therapy in mental health for illness management and recovery written by Michael J. Silverman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many music therapists work in adult mental health settings after qualifying. For many, it will be a challenging and even daunting prospect. Yet until now, there has been no psychiatric music therapy text providing advice on illness management and recovery. This essential book fills the gap in the literature, providing the necessary breadth and depth to inform readers of the psychotherapeutic research base and show how music therapy can effectively and efficiently function within a clinical scenario. The book takes an illness management and recovery approach to music therapy specific to contemporary group-based practice. It is also valuable for administrators of music therapy, providing innovative theory-based approaches to psychiatric music therapy, developing and describing new ways to conceptualize psychiatric music therapy treatment, educating music therapists, stimulating research and employment, and influencing legislative policies. An important aim of the book is to stimulate both critical thought and lifelong learning concerning issues, ideas, and concepts related to mental illness and music therapy. Critical thinking and lifelong learning have been - and will likely continue to be - essential aspirations in higher education. Moreover, contemporary views concerning evidence-based practice rely heavily upon the clinician's ability to think critically, seek a breadth of contradicting and confirmatory evidence, implement meta-cognition to monitor thoughts throughout processes, and synthesize and evaluate knowledge to make informed clinical decisions relevant and applicable to idiosyncratic contextual parameters. For both students and clinicians in music therapy, this is an indispensable text to help them learn, develop, and hone their skills in music therapy
