This essay, based on a qualitative research project undertaken by the author while training at Roehampton University, explores the profound impact motherhood can have on the work of a music therapist. Motivated by the close parallels between the roles of mother and therapist as described in psychodynamic theory, the study involved three interviews with music therapist-mothers, and used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to analyse the data. Three superordinate themes emerged: Conflict and Growth; Drawing from Motherhood ‘Toolkit’; and Therapist Boundaries. Findings highlighted the multifaceted nature of the participants’ experiences, revealing both the positive and negative impact being a mother has on the work of a music therapist and the complex ways in which these roles intertwined with each other. During the research process, a broader picture emerged, placing the participants’ experiences within the context of Western culture’s idealised expectations of motherhood, which appeared to exert a powerful influence. It also drew attention to the limitations inherent in the ‘maternal metaphor’ which parallels the roles of mother and therapist, questioning its gender-specificity and the impact this has on music therapist-mothers. This small study provides a starting point for discussion regarding the challenges music therapist-mothers – as well as music therapists who are not mothers – face in a profession in which women make up the majority of the workforce.

The place of music therapy in the spectrum of musical interventions in dementia care needs to be better understood in light of the ‘supply’ and ‘demand’ of this provision. A semi-structured, online survey of British Association for Music Therapy members and affiliates was undertaken in summer 2017. It asked respondents to report on employment practice and settings, and experience in dementia-related music therapy. It asked about training received and given, and what barriers prevent wider availability of music therapy for people with dementia in the United Kingdom. Replies came from 188 people, 142 of whom were working with people with dementia. Most respondents reported working in the public or voluntary sector, but one in five was self-employed. Most (61%) were employed in residential care or hospital settings, for an average of 20 hours per week. The main factor that would increase music therapy provision in dementia care was seen as ‘greater awareness’ of music therapy amongst the general public and within the National Health Service. Nearly one-quarter (23%) thought that training and development could help increase provision. This was the largest survey undertaken to date of dementia practice by Music Therapists in the United Kingdom. It has implications for recruitment, professional development, promotion of the specialism and research.

Justine Schneider’s article is timely, as it coincides with a national initiative to promote and prioritise music, including music therapy, as a core and essential intervention for people with dementia at all stages of their care. The initiative arises from the Commission on Music and Dementia, funded by the Utley Foundation, and organised by the International Longevity Centre (ILC). Following the Commission, Grace Meadows, Music Therapist and previously BAMT (British Association for Music Therapy) development officer has been appointed as Programme Director by the Utley Foundation to work closely with the government and public services, to implement the recommendations across the United Kingdom. Recommendations primarily call for embedding music interventions, including music therapy, in dementia care pathways, building music interventions into strategies for people living with dementia including appointing local music ambassadors, and for more research in the field. The results of the BAMT survey reported here in Schneider’s article contributed to the outcomes of the consultation process and resulting strategy document launched in the House of Lords in January 2018 (Bowell and Bamford, 2018), What would life be – without a song or a dance, what are we? – Commission on Music and Dementia, which can be found in full on the ILC website. The Commission gathered evidence from across the world including from Music Therapists and, although United Kingdom focused, it also represents the state of the evidence in music therapy and music as interventions for people with dementia. Schneider’s article reports the results of the BAMT survey and her reflections upon these; it is extremely welcome and timely. In this invited response, I aim to update readers on what has happened since the Commission, to summarise key recommendations from it and to provide further information, raise questions and challenges for the music therapy profession. Four Music Therapists were part of the Commission, and we had a general role in drawing forward evidence and information from musicians, including qualified Music Therapists across all training programmes. We also aimed to help the Commission understand the different roles and types of training needed for delivering music interventions, including music therapy, for people living with dementia. This included advice about stakeholders who would be able to contribute to the consultation process from a range of services, and teams, including calling for case studies. In the full web-based document (Bowell and Bamford, 2018), case studies from working Music Therapists about their daily work, both from the care sector and the National Health Service (NHS) are included. I would encourage readers to read the full document and to use it to help develop new posts in music therapy for people living with dementia, and to develop research projects. The Commission drew together evidence from all relevant areas, organisations and individua
Justine Schneider的文章很及时,因为它与一项国家倡议不谋而合,该倡议旨在推广和优先考虑音乐,包括音乐治疗,作为痴呆症患者在各个护理阶段的核心和基本干预措施。该倡议由音乐与痴呆症委员会发起,由乌特利基金会资助,国际长寿中心组织。委员会成立后,音乐治疗师、前英国音乐治疗协会(BAMT)发展官Grace Meadows被乌特利基金会任命为项目总监,与政府和公共服务部门密切合作,在英国各地实施这些建议。建议主要呼吁将音乐干预(包括音乐治疗)纳入痴呆症护理途径,将音乐干预纳入痴呆症患者的策略,包括任命当地音乐大使,并在该领域进行更多研究。Schneider的文章中报告的BAMT调查结果有助于2018年1月在上议院启动的咨询过程和由此产生的战略文件的结果(Bowell和Bamford,2018),生活会是什么样的——没有歌声或舞蹈,我们是什么音乐和痴呆症委员会,可在国际法委员会网站上完整找到。委员会收集了来自世界各地的证据,包括来自音乐治疗师的证据,尽管重点是英国,但它也代表了音乐治疗和音乐作为痴呆症患者干预措施的证据状况。Schneider的文章报道了BAMT调查的结果以及她对这些结果的思考;这是非常受欢迎和及时的。在这篇受邀的回复中,我旨在向读者介绍自委员会成立以来发生的最新情况,总结委员会的主要建议,并提供进一步的信息,提出音乐治疗行业的问题和挑战。四名音乐治疗师是委员会的成员,我们在从音乐家那里收集证据和信息方面发挥了一般作用,包括所有培训项目中的合格音乐治疗师。我们还旨在帮助委员会了解为痴呆症患者提供音乐干预(包括音乐治疗)所需的不同角色和培训类型。这包括关于能够从一系列服务和团队为咨询过程做出贡献的利益相关者的建议,包括呼吁进行案例研究。在完整的基于网络的文件中(Bowell和Bamford,2018),包括了来自护理部门和国家医疗服务体系(NHS)的在职音乐治疗师关于他们日常工作的案例研究。我鼓励读者阅读完整的文件,并用它来帮助开发痴呆症患者音乐治疗的新帖子,以及开发研究项目。委员会汇集了所有相关领域、组织和个人的证据,包括神经科学、音乐治疗、音乐学、音乐和音乐治疗参与者、痴呆症患者及其护理人员的证据。它还呼吁了来自国家健康与护理卓越研究所(NICE)、英格兰健康教育部、英国负责委托护理的人、自愿和法定资助机构以及下议院和上议院议员的领导人。令人振奋的是,在MHA养老院等一些组织中,音乐和音乐治疗干预措施是如何优先考虑痴呆症患者的,以及人们对音乐对痴呆症患者强大影响的普遍认可程度;尽管最近更新的Cochrane综述对音乐疗法的益处没有定论(Van der Steen等人,2018)。

This article focuses on a collaborative project that took place from 2012 to 2015 between an NHS Music Therapy Service for children and young people, a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service and the charity Housing for Women. Music therapy interventions for children and young people took place alongside therapeutic family interventions. The families involved had all experienced exposure to domestic abuse. A qualitative study of professionals’ perceptions of the project took place after the project had ended, using a methodology of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Interviews with non-music therapy professionals were transcribed and analysed, providing data about perceived benefits for children and families, the evolving perspectives of the professionals involved and the degree to which processes in music therapy were communicated and understood.
