Authors:Beth Pickard First page: 5 Abstract: British Journal of Music Therapy, Ahead of Print. In pedagogic literature informed by critical disability studies, academia is widely cited as an ableist institution: the training ground for the professions of normalcy. Music therapy could readily be complicit in this normalising discourse with its potential to pathologise participants and to maintain a strict ‘normative divide’, between professionals it trains and participants who engage with its provision. Activists, advocates and disabled therapists have posed a welcome challenge to this positioning in recent publications, but the pedagogical dimensions of music therapy training in this area have received less attention. The emerging signature pedagogy of music therapy and its omissions will be considered, which may explain the need for an increased social justice focus in music therapy curricula. This article considers the potential of applying Kumashiro’s typologies of anti-oppressive education in music therapy training: problematising existing pedagogies and critically reflecting upon the potential of a social justice informed curriculum. These approaches have the potential to reframe Otherness by acknowledging expertise in lived experience. Through introducing these frameworks for socially just, anti-oppressive pedagogies, this article invites consciousness raising in music therapy pedagogy through engagement with critical disability studies theory and philosophy.

Authors:Hilary Davies First page: 16 Abstract: British Journal of Music Therapy, Ahead of Print. Neurodiversity (the idea that autism is a natural part of human diversity) is a concept that is only just beginning to be explored in music therapy research. The idea of neurodiversity can be viewed as an important part of the emerging discourse around diversity and social justice in British music therapy, with a potentially radical influence on both music therapy practice and the way in which autistic clients and colleagues are viewed. This article, written from the ‘insider perspective’ of an autistic Music Therapist, explores the origins of the concept of neurodiversity, the emerging strand of music therapy research concerning neurodiversity, the re-framing of autistic characteristics such as stimming within the concept of autistic culture, and the potential influence on music therapy practice and discourse of a wider paradigm shift towards the neurodiversity paradigm. These topics are considered within a social justice context, situating autistic / neurodivergent people as a minoritized identity within society and examining the potential influence of power dynamics, unconscious bias and privilege within the therapeutic relationship. The characteristics of a neurodiversity-affirmative style of music therapy are considered, and a need is identified for more music therapy research in order to elucidate this way of working.

Authors:Tara Roman First page: 27 Abstract: British Journal of Music Therapy, Ahead of Print. This article is a critical reflection on the development of a research approach to explore therapeutic relationships in psychodynamic music therapy with children and young people with complex needs. The article starts by positioning my research project within contemporary music therapy discourse, discussing literature from psychoanalysis, music therapy research and a broad range of related disciplines. This illustrates the development of a socially, culturally and politically contextualised understanding of the theory and practice of music therapy with people with complex needs and outlines the theoretical concepts which support and inform my research approach. Fricker’s Epistemic Injustice paradigm is used to provide a contextualised philosophical concept to explore why and how people with complex needs are frequently excluded from academic research. A critical disability study perspective is used to outline the need for inclusive research practice to develop epistemological frameworks and methodologies to include the voices of those marginalised in society. The article concludes with an outline of my current research project, discussing how the ideas previously described have informed the research approach and been integrated into the project design.

Authors:Katrina McFerran, Meagan Hunt First page: 37 Abstract: British Journal of Music Therapy, Ahead of Print. Community music therapy is a widely accepted approach that has its origins in the British community music scene and was carefully developed with respect to participatory values dominant in Norwegian practice. This article describes the way an Australian community music therapy programme for youth has been experienced by a group of diverse young people participating in a programme that is for youth who share an enthusiasm and a passion for music and often bring formidable talent to the group. They are also young people who are experiencing adversity due to chronic illness, mental ill-health, unstable homes lives or acute personal crisis or challenge. Qualitative analysis of interviews identified a number of themes including It is like a family; We understand one another’s life experiences and It is good for me, and also identified that diverse group members responded first to the emphasis on the value of music-based experiences, but strongly benefitted from the understanding afforded of the challenges they faced as a result of adverse life experiences. Possible distinctions between traditional group music therapy with adolescents and community music therapy are considered, with implications for programme descriptions and the level of focus on music and support adopted by facilitators.

Authors:Stine Camilla Blichfeldt-Ærø, Sigrun Halvorsen, Gro Trondalen First page: 48 Abstract: British Journal of Music Therapy, Ahead of Print. There is a need for more research on the effect and practical application of music therapy in perioperative settings. With this in mind, a randomized controlled trial was performed to evaluate the stress-regulatory effects of a specific music therapy intervention on patients (n = 64) during cardiac device lead extraction procedures. This article presents a supplementary analysis of the randomized controlled trial to expand the perspective on the impact of the music therapy intervention related to patient anxiety and self-reported experiences. In this substudy, we analysed patients’ self-reported numeric-rated anxiety levels in relation to time and subgroups. The results were further illuminated through scores of the patients’ satisfaction with the music therapy intervention, and qualitative written patient reflections. Descriptive statistical analyses were used, and a supplementary content analysis addressed the written patient material. Results showed that levels of anxiety varied over time in all subgroups. Across different timeline profiles, most patients reported the highest anxiety levels preoperatively and the lowest postoperatively. Independent of anxiety levels, the patients reported positive experiences with music therapy related to coping with the procedure, wellbeing and satisfaction, expressed within the following four categories: (1) bodily sensations of wellbeing, (2) positive feelings, (3) presence of mind and (4) useful intervention elements.
