- Conclusion
I have been working with, writing about, and researching adolescents since 1995 when I began my first positions as a music therapist in Australia, working concurrently in special education and palliative care. I commenced my PhD because I wanted to understand more about the needs of the adolescents I had been working with in both contexts and, at t...
Research in Community-Based Music Therapy Programs
Almost without exception, the music therapy research currently occurring in community programs is qualitative and/or participatory (exceptions being when the program is located geographically in community but is actually attached to an institution that adopts a medical model). The emphasis on interpretive research (as labeled by Wheeler & Murphy, 2016) represents a powerful affinity between the values of the systems in which music therapists work and the types of research approaches they choo...
Research of School-Based Music Therapy Interventions
Most schools are dominated by a focus on the achievement of academic outcomes, with well-being positioned as a pathway to better achievement in this domain. The majority of research in schools reflects that tendency, with a focus on improvement in one form or another. Since improvement is amenable to measurement, many of the researchers in this context have made comparisons of pre- and post-ratings on measures of achievement, or between two groups receiving different interventions. This appro...
Research of Music Therapy Treatments in Mental Health
A medical model (Laing, 1971) dominates the research literature on music therapy treatments in adolescent mental health care, which means that approaches to intervention research are based on the assumption that the cause of mental difficulties can be treated if properly identified. The medical model often translates into practice recommendations with an emphasis on empirical evidence, as reflected in the number of randomized and/or controlled studies that have been conducted, as well as two...
The amount and quality of music therapy research across these contexts of practice with adolescents is impressive for a field as small as music therapy. This achievement is even more noteworthy given that anecdotal reports from students and colleagues suggest that many music therapists do not find working with adolescents rewarding, hence numbers a...
In this section, I would like to show how the boundaries of the three contexts I have used for categorizing the literature are porous rather than rigid. Although I find it useful to distinguish them and relate each to theoretical and practical emphases and priorities, in practice, a single music therapist may work across contexts and is unlikely to...
Is it helpful for adolescents to participate in music therapy? Research suggests that music therapy can reduce symptoms of depression, motivate the acquisition of academic skills, and empower adolescents to participate actively in creating a more diverse and tolerant society where their voices are heard. Whether any young person benefits in the sam...
