In this article, I reflect on the concepts of (in)visibility and (in)audibility, together with critical theories of bodymind literacy and Barthes’s theory of the grain of the voice to consider what fresh perspectives these might offer to music therapy. Examples are drawn from clinical work and my personal lived experience as a nonbinary, trans, White, disabled person, to demonstrate how these concepts can be applied together in the context of music therapy work. Links are made with contemporary politics and popular culture to situate the implications for music therapy within a broader context, and to acknowledge some of the experiences nonbinary, trans and disabled people might carry to therapy sessions with them. I conclude with reflections questioning who Music Therapists are willing to listen to, suggesting the use of different conceptual lenses to support inclusive practice relating to music therapy process and experience, and noting the potential relevance to discussions around therapist self-disclosure, especially implicit disclosure.","PeriodicalId":42422,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"37 1","pages":"17 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41812334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Talwar, Intersectionality in the Arts Psychotherapies","authors":"Rachel Darnley-Smith","doi":"10.1177/13594575221120347","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/13594575221120347","url":null,"abstract":"I am writing this review during the heatwave of summer of 2022, at a time when as a White European cisgendered financially secure gay woman, it has become impossible to ignore the links between the causes of climate change, racism, war, disease, sexual violence, the price of oil, monetary inflation, hunger, climate and global injustice. The facts of this matter have created a sense of urgency to do something that is on a different scale to previous political activism I have been drawn to. The modern expression ‘woke’ as originating in ‘woke up’ could not be more apt. But who is it that needs to wake up? The recent report of a survey compiled by members of the British Association of Music Therapy (BAMT) provides an invaluable snapshot of the music therapy profession in the United Kingdom during 2020 (Langford et al., 2020). The demographic information collated shows the profession as largely made up of White individuals (86%) trained in classical music (87%), who received private paid for music lessons (91.16%) and were not first-generation graduates (59.53%). The observation that the profession has historically been represented by White classical musicians and that this continues to be the case should come as no surprise to anyone currently living in the United Kingdom. The cost of this intersection of Whiteness, economic security, together with the dominance of Western classical music, means that for any number of reasons, in recent decades it is likely that the profession has lost a wide range of diverse knowledge, skills and experience beyond White culture, even before potential therapists are accepted on to a training. The problem with this state of affairs is the problem with any dominant culture, professional or otherwise; that is the tendency for insiders to stay comfortably within and to perpetuate its value systems, generally to believe its truths, and to hide from any notion of power or privilege. The impact of this tendency upon practice has begun to be challenged widely over the past two decades, and in recent years especially in music therapy literature published in North America therapy by therapists of colour. However, it must be acknowledged that change towards a widespread consciousness and acknowledgement of the impact of colour and class privilege upon the directions our profession have taken, and who this concerns, has been slow (Coombes and Tsiris, 2020; Gipson et al., 2020; Langford et al., 2020; Norris, 2020a, 2020b; Sajnani et al., 2017; Silveira, 2020; Webb, 2019). Intersectionality in the Arts Psychotherapies is a timely exploration of clinical practice and practitioners that directly addresses many of these issues and it is theoretically well informed and reflexive at every turn. The notion of intersectionality is taken from many varied sources, as Editors Jessica Collier and Corrina Eastwood write, ‘the primary concerns. . . were born of activism, and social justice work prompted by social inequalities’ (p. 21).

{"title":"‘Trapped in the trap’: Exploring Music Therapists’ clinical engagement with the current discourse around UK Drill","authors":"Joe Smith-Sands","doi":"10.1177/13594575221119569","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/13594575221119569","url":null,"abstract":"This article investigates Music Therapists’ experience and understanding of UK Drill. As a recently emerged sub-genre of Rap, its graphic lyrics have been linked to increases in gang activity and violent crime in the United Kingdom, while simultaneously voicing the experiences of marginalised black, working-class people. This has fuelled wider debate around censorship and diversity, tensions within which are explored in this article in a review of the literature on Rap and music therapy. The review suggests that while the therapeutic use of UK Drill may be contraindicated, to exclude the genre from music therapy is problematic from a socio-political perspective. This debate is then explored through semi-structured interviews with two white Music Therapists with experience of working with young people who want to use UK Drill in their music therapy sessions. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three themes are discussed: research participants’ descriptions of their perception of the therapeutic components of UK Drill, their perspectives on the psychosocial context of UK Drill and their negotiating questions of identity when working with UK Drill. Findings suggested a complex role for UK Drill in music therapy. While the ethical and clinical necessity of not excluding UK Drill from sessions was established, so were a number of challenges posed for Music Therapists looking to integrate it into their practice. Research participants were also found to be emotionally desensitised to UK Drill’s graphic lyrics. This is argued to represent an underlying anxiety towards UK Drill’s intense emotional expression, which was further suggested by the absence of open consideration towards clients’ racial identities. The findings are considered in the context of wider diversity issues within the profession. They also signal the need for a more socially cognisant music therapy practice, with greater open consideration paid towards the client’s racial identity by white Music Therapists.","PeriodicalId":42422,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"36 1","pages":"94 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43872645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Governments took measures such as social distancing, lockdowns and quarantine protocols to stem the spread of the pandemic. This had a significant impact on music therapy clinical practice, generating reflections and adaptations among the worldwide music therapy community, with several studies still underway. A number of professional music therapy organisations have explored methods for carrying out remote interventions. MusicTeamCare is an approach developed by three Italian Certified Music Therapists that could offer access to support in emergency and crisis situations. This approach is rooted in receptive music therapy theory, with particular reference to Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). MusicTeamCare was used for the first time in March to April 2020, with healthcare workers in Italy who were treating COVID-19 patients. This article outlines theoretical framework, development and evaluation phases of MusicTeamCare. Detailed explanations are given of the theoretical framework, methods of musical analysis, assessment and evaluation strategies, criteria for constructing the playlists and interactive triangulation between the Music Therapists in the research team.","PeriodicalId":42422,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"36 1","pages":"71 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47200149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we report the results of a systematic review that summarises the evidence from published controlled studies where MT has been used to treat people diagnosed with any type of ED. Our results demonstrate that robust evidence concerning the effectiveness of MT for the treatment of EDs is severely lacking. Nonetheless, the evidence described in this paper warrants further investigation especially given that new treatment strategies for EDs are urgently needed. To this end, we offer a set of recommendations for future high-quality experimental studies that can inform the development of effective MT interventions and support for people with EDs.","PeriodicalId":42422,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"36 1","pages":"84 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42180029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
