Description

Group Music Therapy: A Group Analytic Approach explores the intersection of music therapy and group analytic thinking. This book delves into the dynamic processes that occur in both modalities, highlighting their commonalities and distinctive characteristics. By examining the history of group music therapy and group analysis, as well as theories of infant development and attachment, the authors shed light on the possibilities of non-verbal communication through improvised music and the value of experiential groups in training. Clinical vignettes from music therapy practice illustrate these concepts, providing a practical understanding of the subject. The book concludes with a discussion of co-therapy and collaborative working, offering insights into the potential benefits of combining group analytic thinking with music therapy.
