In almost all PT research carried out to date, music listening is used as an essential adjunct to support the therapeutic aims, such as having a ‘peak experience’ and emotional release, however existing research has not addressed the perceptions of the role of music in PT. This qualitative study used a novel hybrid vignette-story completion method to explore understandings of PT and the role of music in the practice. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to develop three themes: (1) ‘Psychedelic therapy can reach the parts that other therapies cannot reach’; (2) ‘Music as a guide’; and (3) ‘It’s no magic bullet’: the potential risks of PT. The analysis highlights the important role that music is perceived to play in the practice of PT, positive perceptions of PT as a mental health intervention, alongside concerns about potential risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102284"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reported physical and psychosocial health needs related to caregiving are vast, but positive perceptions of caregiving aid in mitigating negative health outcomes and may help with supporting the sustainability of caregivers in their role. Music therapy and gentle movement, particularly yoga, are well-documented nonpharmacological interventions that positively impact a variety of psychosocial health outcomes of informal/family caregivers (IFCG). However, despite positive findings associated with both disciplines, there have been no investigations to date exploring the impact of a fully integration of the two disciplined delivered to IFCGs. The purpose of this investigation was thus to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a single, group integrated music therapy and gentle movement intervention for IFCGs of adults over 18-years-old, delivered synchronously online. Results of the study (N = 14) revealed significant increases in WHO-5 wellbeing scores, <em>t</em> = -3.07, <em>p</em> = 0. 01, and caregiver satisfaction (BASC), <em>z</em> = -2.65, <em>p</em> = .01 from pre to two-weeks post intervention.

Findings suggest that the majority of respondents considered <em>EINGTBOK</em> to be fully or partially a form of therapeutic theatre, with the following themes emerging as the most important: processing the pandemic; creation of connection and community; expression and validation of feelings; permission to be human; increased political and international awareness; and aspects of the format as holding and containing.

Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and participants’ reflections on their artworks. The triangulated approach ensured a robust investigation into the participants' experiences. Data analysis revealed three primary categories: (1) the shared creative space facilitating individual therapeutic processes; (2) creative self-expression promoting self-awareness and self-discovery; and (3) the art therapist as nurturer and guardian of the creative process. Participants emphasized the importance of a supportive creative atmosphere, a sense of belonging and community, and the art therapist’s role in maintaining the creative environment. These findings highlight the relational dynamics within the Open Studio and showcase how the interaction between adolescents and the shared creative space fosters personal growth and psychological healing. The study underscores the importance of patient-centered and experientially validated therapeutic approaches and offers insights that can better align art therapy practices with adolescents' developmental and emotional needs in psychiatric settings.

On one hand, traditional perspectives align with behaviourism and take a medical approach to analysing and articulating the benefits of dance therapy for criminal cohorts. On the other hand, social justice perspectives highlight the limitations of individual behavioural change and look to broader socio-political contexts to explain the ways in which institutions and systems adversely impact the lives and experiences of criminalised people. Taking these different views into consideration, our article blends traditional (behavioural) and contemporary (critical) perspectives and seeks to crystalise findings from the research literature in a way that honours the relevance of two distinct, yet complementing, paradigms. Beginning with a systematic review, we draw on the Risk-Need-Responsivity and Good Lives Model to contextualise data from an objectivist standpoint. We then position ourselves more critically to examine the constraints of the medical model and suggest alternatives to treatment-focused discourse.
