ABSTRACT Introduction Music therapy is actively used with early adolescents in relation to their emotional skill development. Yet, the conceptualization of emotional skills is typically not systematically addressed in therapeutic practice. This study examined music therapists’ views on the progress of emotional skills when working with early adolescents with mental health conditions. The study also explored what kind of methods the therapists use with the target group, and the applicability of a previously published conceptual model. Method We conducted a deductive-inductive content analysis of transcripts from four focus group interviews among 13 professional music therapists. Results The therapists concluded that the progress of the emotional skills of their clients can be seen both in daily functioning as well as the client’s functioning in therapy. The selection of therapy methods was broad and included both music-based and non-music-based methods. Therapists considered the presented conceptualization of emotional skills to be valid, but had difficulty examining their practices using all levels of the model. Several practical features were identified that were considered beneficial for the therapists in clinical practice. Discussion This study adds to knowledge about the progress of emotional skill development, working methods, and useful perspectives for working on emotional skills in early adolescents with mental health conditions. The conceptual model of emotional skills can offer a tool for helping music therapists define, observe and analyse emotional skills in the therapy context.

“How do you get to know your client’s inner-world so well?” I am often amazed by the depth of insight music therapy colleagues share about their clients during clinical peersupervision. Of course, colleagues from other disciplines I closely work with (e.g. clinical psychologists, nurses, activity co-ordinators) also share clinical insights that are extremely valuable in our review meetings. However, music therapists seem to develop unique insights into their clients’ individual characters and personal strengths beyond symptoms and challenging conditions. I approached Rosslyn Bender, an experienced music therapy clinician working in the national health service for mental health care of adults and older adults in London, UK, and asked her why she thinks music therapists may get to know their clients in such a unique way. She wrote back to explain: “(I think it’s) because the music between a client and a therapist is constantly in motion, therapists have to ‘go with the flow’ without reliance on a clear structure or frame for the interaction. This means we are constantly listening and paying attention to not only what is expressed in space and time but also holding an awareness of what has preceded the moment as well as what may still be possible. In addition, the therapist’s embodied experience of these musical interactions seems to help them to develop a unique sense of and thus deeper understanding of their clients”. Exploring why and how such in-depth “knowing” may happen through collaborative music making is beyond the scope of this Editorial. Nevertheless, this provides me with an opportunity to encourage music therapists to share their in-depth clinical knowledge through publication. During the long-awaited in-person 12th European Music Therapy Conference in Edinburgh in June 2022, the NJMT Editorial Team held a workshop on peer-reviewed publications (McDermott et al., 2022). Our motivations to run this workshop were to encourage new or less-experienced writers to submit articles to NJMT, and to increase the transparency of the publication process. We were particularly keen to encourage music therapists to consider sharing their insights by writing Perspectives on Practice articles. The current instruction for authors related to this genre can be found on the NJMT website (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show= instructions&journalCode=rnjm20). I would particularly like to highlight that Perspectives on Practice articles do not have to be presented as research or theoretical papers. Rather, authors are strongly encouraged to critically reflect on their work, contextualise their reflections, and make appropriate links to theoretical approaches or frameworks. Perspectives on Practice authors do not need to have formal ethical approval if their work was undertaken as part of their usual practice, but appropriate ethical consideration needs to be provided.

ABSTRACT Introduction Music therapy practice and research in the field of autism has often followed medical narratives that reinforce neurotypical normalcy by locating the difficulties of social interaction in the autistic person. By exploring the relational phenomenon of attunement, this paper focuses on the social and material ecology of interactions. The authors try to unpack circumstances that can support or hinder attunement dynamics between autistic and non-autistic people. Method A video-vignette from music therapy with an autistic boy, who explores the sound of building blocks formed the point of departure for this research. The vignette was self-identified by the music therapist as an apparently failed attunement experience. Based on this vignette, we conducted an interview with the therapist and focus groups with parents of autistic children and colleagues from different professions, one of whom is autistic. We used an interpretative hermeneutical methodology for crystallisation of perspectives. Results We uncovered four spaces that impacted on the mutuality and co-creation of attunement dynamics. The room (physical space), the school context (professional space), and the material (sensory space) afford the interaction (relational space) between the child and the therapist in enabling and disabling ways. Listening to the child's sound making with the building blocks was identified as the autistic child’s way of knowing and sounding that needs to be listened to carefully, rather than being questioned or disregarded. Discussion Findings of this research might encourage therapists to foster an understanding of social interaction that is mutually co-constituted and enactive, and that contradicts the mainstream pathologisation of autism.

ABSTRACT Introduction Research in music therapy and autistic people to date has predominantly focused on communication and social interaction outcomes. The purpose of this exploration was to explore the lived experiences of young autistic adults in Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. To our knowledge, the body of research that seeks to understand participants’ perspectives regarding their experiences of music therapy and the goals they want to pursue is limited. Method Four autistic young adult men who had received at least 6 months of Nordoff-Robbins music therapy services at the Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at New York University participated in this study. Each participant engaged in four to five interview sessions to share their experiences of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and the role it plays in their life. Interviews were analyzed using the IPA method. A summary of the results was shared with each participant to ensure sensitivity to and accuracy of their lived experiences. Results Three themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Participants attend Nordoff-Robbins music therapy to develop their musicianship and personal selves; (2) participants create meaningful relationships with their peers, music therapists, and music; and (3) participants bring their sociocultural identities into music therapy sessions. Discussion Participants’ responses led to a critical reexamining of “the music child”, challenging music therapy research and practice agendas of normalizing autistic social and communication behaviors, and suggest the need for more research that collaborates and centers the autistic community.

ABSTRACT Introduction Music-Oriented Parent Counseling (MOPC) is a clinical way to work with parents, using musical improvisations and listening. This study examined effects of MOPC on level of stress, quality of life perception and daily use of music by the parents of autistic children. Method Fourteen parents of young autistic children received either three MOPC sessions (n = 7) or ten MOPC sessions (n = 7), parallel to either music therapy (MT) or standard care for their children. Change in parental stress, parents’ perception on children’s and families’ quality of life and the daily use of music (routine and joint music activities) were measured with standardized assessments and parent interviews. Descriptive and inferential parametric statistics were conducted, as well as thematic analysis. Results We found little change and no significant effect on parental stress. Children’s quality of life showed improvement with but not without MT and a tendency towards a larger improvement with high-intensity than low-intensity MOPC. Family quality of life showed less change but a somewhat larger improvement in high-intensity than low-intensity MOPC. Routine music activities increased in high-intensity MOPC but decreased in low-intensity MOPC; joint music activities showed less change but a similar trend. Qualitative analysis of the interviews suggested that parents participating in high-intensity MOPC felt less stressed, perceived improved quality of life, and increased music use. Discussion Findings provide preliminary support for high-intensity MOPC to help parents of autistic children increase children’s and families’ quality of life and music use. More research is needed to confirm these findings.

ABSTRACT Introduction This quantitative research investigates the impact of a receptive music therapy method-variation, Personalized Audio Montage (called Montage Audio Personnalisé [MAP] in French), on self-reported levels of stress, anxiety, physical tension, fatigue, and mood of youth experiencing homelessness. Method A single-group pretest-posttest design was used to determine the impact of MAP. Participants completed the co-researcher music therapist-developed Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) for five independent variables (i.e. self-reported levels of stress, anxiety, fatigue, physical tension, and mood), before and after participating in individual MAP sessions. Multivariate ANOVAs for repeated measures were used considering time (pretest-posttest), and MAP sessions as within-subjects factors. Results Nine youth (n = 9) participated in one to three MAP sessions. There were 20 pre-tests and post-tests for each independent variable except for anxiety, for which 19 pre-tests and post-tests were completed. Results of quantitative data analysis show a statistically significant decrease in scores for self-reported levels of stress, anxiety and physical tension at post-session as compared to pre-session. No significant effect was observed for fatigue. Finally, mood scores significantly improved from prettest to posttest. Discussion Findings suggest that MAP holds potential to be a valuable part of music therapists’ intervention strategies to support the emotional and physical well-being of youth experiencing homelessness. Limitations and future research recommendations are presented with regard to the small sample size and complexity of conducting research with youth experiencing homelessness.
