Abstract

A long-standing trend to differentiate and even oppose psychodynamic and ecological approaches to practice can be identified in the UK music therapy literature. This is complicated by the way in which ecologically oriented thinking is associated with practice identified to be music-centred. While the trend to differentiate and separate approaches is most apparent in the literature, it is also evident that in practice, therapists have long integrated different perspectives and ways of working, this integral trend having its roots in the work of the UK music therapy pioneers. This article explores how the ecologically oriented thinking associated with the Community Music Therapy movement, and introduced soon after the turn of the 21st century, served in part to broaden the scope of UK practice in a progressive, integrally oriented way. However, the article also discusses the rejection of psychotherapeutically oriented thinking made by some ecologically oriented authors to make space for the new way of thinking. It is suggested that this rejection has been less helpful for the development of the profession as a whole, as the different ways of working in music therapy can be understood to address different types and levels of need. This means that psychodynamic, developmental, ecological, neurological and other perspectives are all potentially important. Case vignettes are used to illustrate this and an integral approach to working, with music-centredness discussed in a way that embraces the full spectrum of UK practice.
英国音乐治疗的分化和整合趋势以及音乐中心的频谱
在英国音乐治疗文献中,可以发现一种长期存在的区分甚至反对心理动力学和生态学实践方法的趋势。以生态为导向的思维与以音乐为中心的实践相联系,使这一点变得复杂。虽然区分和分离方法的趋势在文献中最为明显,但也很明显,在实践中,治疗师长期以来一直将不同的观点和工作方式结合在一起,这一整体趋势源于英国音乐治疗先驱的工作。本文探讨了在21世纪之交后不久引入的与社区音乐治疗运动相关的生态导向思维,如何以渐进、整体的方式在一定程度上拓宽了英国的实践范围。然而,本文也讨论了一些生态导向的作者对心理治疗导向思维的排斥,为新的思维方式腾出空间。有人认为,这种拒绝对整个职业的发展没有太大帮助,因为音乐治疗的不同工作方式可以理解为满足不同类型和水平的需求。这意味着心理动力、发育、生态、神经和其他方面都具有潜在的重要性。案例小插曲被用来说明这一点,以及一种整体的工作方法,以音乐为中心的讨论方式涵盖了英国的全方位实践。
