Introduction Music therapy research has traditionally been somewhat fragmented into different research traditions. This paper argues that the burgeoning field of enactivism could provide important theoretical integration to music therapy research and practice. Stressing the interdependence of mind, brain, body, and environment, enactivism has provided theoretical integration in several fields, not least music cognition and psychiatry. This paper is the first focused theoretical contribution that applies relevant enactivist theory to music therapy.

ABSTRACTIntroduction Considering the growing influence of the Neurodiversity movement on the literature on autism, we attempted to shed a new light on autistic echolalia in music therapy by exploring the topic from an identity-first viewpoint. 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”).

ABSTRACTIntroduction In cases of schizophrenia and other psychoses, a comprehensive strategy that combines psychopharmacology with psychosocial interventions is often used to address symptoms, cognitive deficits, social functioning, and quality of life. 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.

Introduction Many music therapists propose that chaos, such as destructiveness and disintegration, could thwart music therapy group processes and should be minimised or resolved. 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. They can accompany young people through offering holding, resources and collaborative support. When it is safe, music therapists may allow or encourage chaos that empowers adolescents to cope with challenges independently.

Introduction: Evaluating the validity of the content is an essential step in developing an assessment tool, including an analysis of the quality of the items within the tool. 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.

It is a privilege to be invited to contribute an Editorial to this issue of the Nordic Journal of Music Therapy, which maintains and advances the momentum which Thompson’s (2022) call for respect-focused writing set in motion at the end of last year. It is a period of noticeable growth within the profession, with disability studies-informed and social justice-oriented perspectives emerging from theoretical and philosophical works initially, through to examples in practice, research, pedagogy, and increasingly in publications. There is an increasing acceptance that respectful, anti-ableist practice is everyone’s responsibility and not a specialist approach or focus, with ever-increasing dialogue about how to nurture, facilitate and achieve antioppressive aspirations in the profession. This welcome paradigm shift demonstrates the potential of music therapy as an evolving discipline to respond to multifaceted challenges and opportunities, and for antioppressive perspectives (Baines, 2021) to offer practitioners a valuable lens through which to develop and orientate their work. Through working toward dismantling the inaccurate historical binary and power dynamic between music therapy participants and music therapists, expertise by experience is increasingly understood and valued (Swamy & Webb, 2022). Several of the articles in this issue offer landmark examples of these ideas and signal a shift in the trajectory of research and practice in music therapy. In this issue, Marie Strand Skånland asks whether participation in music therapy, offered through flexible assertive community treatment (a Dutch model of communitybased, recovery-oriented mental health care) can contribute to social recovery (p. 290). This recovery-oriented position shifts emphasis from a pathologizing model to recognition of personal and social recovery, with potential for music therapy to optimise the participant’s health. Skånland proposes that the relational experiences shared in the research may add to the service users’ feelings of being met as equal human beings:
