Research participants reflect on the impact both at the time of the student placement, and subsequently on their professional lives as music therapists.Method Researchers used qualitative thematic analysis to analyse nine open-ended interviews with the research participants. Themes were articulated over three iterations of analysis and were developed into a series of narratives that reflected various perspectives on key emerging themes.Results Researchers interpreted five broad areas of learning from the data: Placement structure; challenges and supporting factors on placement; learning opportunities identified within the placement; future impact on individuals; and broader insights for the international development music therapy literature.Discussion Learning from across these five areas is considered in relation to the context of international development as an emerging practice area in music therapy. Researchers suggest how key data points may inform future approaches to music therapy practice. A critical lens is used to consider some ethical considerations related to this area of work, and to propose ways that research learning may inform future music therapy practice in international development.KEYWORDS: International developmentmusic therapystudentplacementservice learningsustainability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Keywords: Music therapy AND international development, humanitarian aid, humanitarian, service learning, crisis response, disaster.2 Journals searched: Journal of Music Therapy; Australian Journal of Music Therapy; New Zealand Journal of Music Therapy; Canadian Journal of Music Therapy; Nordic Journal of Music Therapy; British Journal of Music Therapy; Music Therapy Perspectives; Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy; Approaches: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Music Therapy; Arts in Psychotherapy; Arts and Health; Journal of Applied Arts and Health; Qualitative Inquiries in Music Therapy.3 Further articles including participant and stakeholder voices from this collaboration are pending publication.Additional informationFundingNo funding was received for this study.Notes on contributorsLucy BolgerLucy Bolger is a Senior Lecturer of Music Therapy at the University of Melbourne.

We interviewed autistic adults and studied this phenomenon from their perspective.Method Five adults on the autism spectrum were interviewed. For the data collection phase, Reductive Phenomenology was used. The participants were asked to reflect on the need to echo as they understand it and discuss possible reasons that may lead autistic clients to echo during music therapy. They were also asked about musical aspects that echolalia may have. For the analysis of the data, the guidelines of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis were followed to extract themes and categories from the data.Results The interviewees pointed at two main reasons for echolalia in their opinion: (a) intra-personal reasons that mainly function to self-regulate the echoing person; and the much less frequently mentioned (b) inter-personal reasons that relate to interactions with others. They also pointed at several connections between music and echolalia, for example, the heightened awareness to the prosody of words rather than their content and the use of songs as echolalia.Discussion The information provided by the interviewees is compared to descriptions of echolalia in the literature. Enabling the participants to share their autistic experience, we believe, is an opportunity to hold back preconceived assumptions about echolalia made by non-autistic music therapists and other professionals, and to help them improve their clinical understanding of echolalia.KEYWORDS: Autism spectrumecholaliainterpretative phenomenological analysisreductive phenomenologyneurodiversity movementmusic therapy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 We use the term “echolalia” to describe the phenomenon in general, whereas the term “echoing” is used as a verb, to describe the action itself.2 In recent years there has been a growing discontent within the autism self-advocacy community regarding the tendency of non-autistic people to use person-first language when referring to people on the autism spectrum (i.e. to say “a person with autism”, rather than “autistic person”). One compelling argument against such “politically correct” labelling is that it belittles the autistic component of people’s identity, ignoring the unique ways they experience the world due to their neurological makeup (e.g. Brown, Citation2011; Hector, Citation2021; Ryan, Citation2019). In light of that, in this article we shall refer to people diagnosed with ASD using identity-first language, namely, we shall refer to them as “autistic people” or as “people on the autism spectrum” interchangeably and not as “people with autism.”3 Gestalt language-processing style is one form of language development (which is not necessarily unique to a","PeriodicalId":51826,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Music Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research was to carry out a randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of a music therapy (MT) treatment protocol on quality of life (primary outcome), symptoms, self-esteem, internalized stigma, social cognition, and social functioning (secondary outcomes), when implemented in combination with standard pharmacological and psychosocial rehabilitation (treatment as usual, TAU).Method Sixty clinically stable outpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia and other psychoses were randomly allocated to one of two groups: One group was administered TAU (n = 30) and the other TAU + MT (n = 30). The MT component consisted of 22 sessions of evidence-based MT. Outcome measures were obtained before and after treatment using a masked assessment process.Results A total of 57 participants completed the study. All participants were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Differences between the groups were observed for internalized stigma (η2=.46), social functioning (η2=.18) and quality of life (η2=.25), with the TAU + MT group showing significantly greater improvements than the control group.Discussion The results obtained support the benefits of incorporating a MT treatment protocol as a complementary therapy to standard treatment.KEYWORDS: Music therapyschizophreniapsychosisadjunct therapyrecovery AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to express their sincere gratitude to the people who have participated in this study, to CREAP staff and Lynne Coppillie for her help with the language of the manuscript.Disclosure statementThe authors report no conflict of interest.Supplementary dataSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08098131.2023.2257296.Notes1.

From a paradoxical approach, however, chaos is understood as a transformative complement to ordered, formative music therapy experiences. The research in this paper explored how music therapists and adolescents could engage with chaos as a resource in music therapy groups.Method From a paradoxical approach, the music therapist--researcher facilitated two short-term group music therapy processes with nine young South Africans from under-resourced and often violent communities, referred for committing offences. The researcher utilised crystallisation, including constructivist grounded theory, participatory action research, and abduction, to analyse how group members could engage with chaotic group experiences. Findings, constructed through a cyclical process of data collection, analysis, and inclusion of group feedback, are presented in a matrix.Results The matrix shows how groups could utilise chaos to explore multiple possibilities for responding to challenges. They expressed themselves courageously and played unconventional group roles through their musicking and participation. They juggled paradoxical tensions between observational and active, integrative and disintegrative, engagement styles. This supported their transformation in the group, and potentially within the chaotic South African context.Discussion Music therapists can use the matrix to support adolescents in music therapy groups to engage with chaos as a transformative resource.

This study describes the content validation of items in the early adolescents’ emotional skills assessment tool in a music therapy context. Methods: Content validity was evaluated based on relevance scores provided by two expert panels. Psychometric scores were obtained by calculating item-specific content validity index (I-CVI), scale-specific content validity index (S-CVI) and modified kappa score. In addition, the coverage and understandability of the items were evaluated. Results: The validation process identified 60 valid items distributed across six components of emotional skills: expressing, monitoring, identifying, understanding, regulating and the ability to use emotional information. Item I-CVI scores ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, the scale content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.95, the modified kappa score ranged from 0.65 to 1.00, item coverage at scale level was 1.00, and item under-standability was 0.92. Discussion: The items developed in the study have high validity and are scientifically grounded. The items can be a first step towards a validated assessment tool to evaluate emotional skills in early adolescents. The added value of this study is that the set of items developed is the first to cover all the components of emotional skills identified in the literature. Therefore, music therapists can use the items to observe in more detail the different dimensions of emotional skills in early adolescents.","PeriodicalId":51826,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Music Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59454063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
