Such nuances and shifts in the music of a patient's voice have long
been familiar to clinicians. Indeed, as Steven Knoblauch observes,
the music of psychotherapy has been acknowledged across a variety
of theoretical orientations, from Freudian to self-psychological to
interpersonal and relational perspectives. In The Musical Edge of
Therapeutic Dialogue, Knoblauch provides a model of "resonant
minding" in which the musical elements of speech become a major
source of information about unconscious communication and action.
More specifically, resonant minding, by distinguishing between
discrete and continuous levels of communication, between the verbal
and the musical, offers a way of accessing and affecting levels of
unconscious interactive process by attending to the musical edge of
dialogue -- provided only that we can hear it. Drawing on detailed
clinical vignettes, he explores shifts in embodied dimensions of
musical expression including rhythm, tone, pauses and accents
across a sequence of patient-therapist interactions in order to
show how the dyadic logic of mutual improvisation operates at the
periphery to guide the continuous flow of unconscious communication
and mutual regulation. In so doing, Knoblauch provides a vivid
sense of how the shifting movement of the patient's "solo
performance" can be facilitated and enriched by the creative
"accompaniment" of the therapist. Ultimately, Knoblauch argues, the
music of therapy is not only another road to the unconscious, but
one uniquely able to convey emergent meanings in a variety of
domains, from conflicting cultural identifications to the
experience of the body to the emergence of desire. His vision of
mutual immersion in a shared "performance" aimed at fostering
growth coalesces into a major contribution - at once evocative and
clinically consequential - to the current movement to grasp
nonverbal behavior and processes of mutual regulation as they enter
into all effective psychotherapy.
