Music in Therapeutic Practice: Using Rhythm to Bridge Communication
Barriers builds upon an emerging awareness in psychotherapy that
music can create therapeutic rapport with patients. Music has been
described as our first language, beginning with our mother's
heartbeat. Early rhythms echo and elaborate as themes threading
through the narratives of our emotional lives. Given the ways we
can access and share music today, we find ourselves increasingly
maneuvering through musical landscapes and constructing our
identities around music. Ready illustrates how music provides
alternative access to patients undergoing severe mental health
issues by interweaving the psychoanalytic theories of Wilfred Bion,
Daniel Stern, and others with those of ethnomusicologists,
psychobiologists, and neurobiologists who believe our early urges
toward music are attempts to socially bond. Theory comes to life
through vivid case studies and excerpts from individual sessions
and psychodynamic therapy groups. Ready also demonstrates how music
can be a particularly effective communication tool with
cross-cultural and young adult patients. Building music into
treatment can transform the therapeutic process, making music a
powerful ally to both patients and clinicians.
