Resonant learning allows students to develop and fine-tune their
therapeutic competencies through first-hand experiences: being in
client roles themselves, being in preliminary therapist roles with
co-students in client roles and reflecting on those experiences.
These resonant learning processes are preparatory steps in
developing a professional music therapist identity through
internship and later employment positions and continuing
supervision. Outlining the Aalborg model of resonant learning,
developed at Aalborg University, Denmark, Resonant Learning in
Music Therapy discusses the benefits and drawbacks of 'tuning the
therapist' and encourages its integration into music therapy
courses around the world. The book sums up research on resonant
learning and presents core exercises, directives and vignettes from
the training processes of the Aalborg model. Explaining how
students' self-agency is enhanced by long-term personal experiences
in group- and individual therapy, observing work with clients in an
institutional setting, working with clients themselves, and
undergoing close group and individual supervision, the editors and
contributors also explore the benefits of implementing resonant
learning within other therapist training programs and healthcare
professions.

other environments has a rich and diverse history of methods,
approaches and models. Consolidating the many components of music
therapy, this completely updated edition of A Comprehensive Guide
to Music Therapy covers everything students, teachers and
practitioners of music therapy need to know. Building upon the work
of Tony Wigram and developments within the field of music therapy
over the last 15 years, this second edition looks at the
theoretical foundation of music therapy, selected models and
interventions, how it can be applied in clinical practice, and the
recent progress made in research and evidence-based practice.
Giving a complete picture of the multifaceted world of music
therapy, it is a must-have for music therapy students, teachers and

Music is an essential tool in dementia care. This accessible guide
embraces ways in which music can enhance the daily lives of those
with dementia. It draws on the expertise of practitioners regularly
working in dementia settings, as well as incorporating research on
people with dementia, to help anyone, whether or not they have any
musical skills or experience, to successfully use music in dementia
care. Guiding the reader through accessible activities with
singing, percussion, sounding bowls and other musical tools, the
book shows how music may can be used from the early to late stages
of dementia. This creative outlet can extend to inspire dance,
movement, poetry and imagery. The chapters include creative uses of
technology, such as tablets and personal playlists. The book also
covers general considerations for using music with people living
with dementia in institutional settings, including evaluating and
recording outcomes. Living Well with Dementia through Music is the
perfect go-to guide for music-based activities with people living
with dementia.
In this insightful book, Oldfield and Carr draw together persuasive
arguments for combining aspects of music therapy and dramatherapy,
whilst retaining their unique facets. Building on the many links
between music and drama and the compatibility between the two
disciplines, the authors explore how artistic aspects of each
therapy can be drawn on to create fresh ways of working. This
approach enriches the practice of professionals working to support
people with special needs, people recovering from trauma and social
deprivation and a wide range of other service users. Despite the
significant overlap in music therapy and dramatherapy techniques,
this is the first book to directly explore the vast potential of
elements of the two disciplines being brought together. Covering a
range of different perspectives and practice contexts, this book
demonstrates just how much the professions can offer each other
both from a clinical perspective and from the point of view of
training therapists.

The Clinician's Guide to Forensic Music Therapy provides
information and advice on how to effectively and safely deliver two
context-specific, systematic approaches in forensic music therapy.
The two clinically tested treatment manuals have been specifically
designed for use by music therapists and other clinicians working
in prisons and secure hospital settings. They provide in-depth
practical guidance for a variety of contexts and specific attention
is given to risk assessment, responsivity to treatment and
recovery. The book also includes advice on clinical evaluation,
taking the complexities of diagnosis and patient needs into
consideration. As the very first of its kind, and written by two
leading practitioners of forensic music therapy, this book is
essential reading for any music therapist and student of music
therapy. It will also be of interest to other clinicians working in
correctional or secure psychiatric settings and includes a chapter
for them on how to use music effectively.
Relating the innovative ways in which assistants and collaborators
can become an integral part of a course of music therapy, this book
explores how the involvement of a diverse range of individuals,
such as family members, learning support assistants, caregivers and
medical staff, can contribute to successful sessions. Illustrated
by clinical examples, the book will help music therapists and
students to make the most of opportunities to collaborate with
individuals other than the client who may be present during therapy
sessions. The book also takes into account the challenges that can
arise in music therapy collaboration, and explores the
relationships that can develop between music therapists, clients
and collaborators.

approaches, which include live, improvised and pre-composed music,
from music therapy teams working in secure treatment settings. The

discussion of institutional and multi-disciplinary team dynamics.
It will inform professionals about different ways to manage
challenging situations in order to deliver music therapy with
adults and adolescents who have committed offences, men and women
with personality disorders and mental health problems, as well as
men who have killed. The book also describes the development of
Cognitive Analytic Music Therapy: the first manualised form of
music therapy to be used in the rehabilitation of offenders.
Chapters include case studies and service developments informed by
theories from an established range of psychological therapies
including psychoanalysis, cognitive analytic therapy, musicology
and forensic psychotherapy. The significant variations and
considerations when working in low, medium and high secure
treatment settings are also clarified. This book will give music
therapists, forensic and clinical psychotherapists and
psychologists, cognitive analytic therapists, psychiatrists, and
others working in the field a wider understanding of choices, as
well as demonstrating the effectiveness of tailored music therapy
programmes for this complex client group.
