Title: | Music Therapy and Medical Ethnomusicology: Distinctive and Connected | Contributor(s): | Edwards, Jane (author) ; MacMahon, Oonagh (author) | Publication Date: | 2015-11-09 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.15845/voices.v15i3.821 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/27959 | Abstract: | A music therapist and an ethnomusicologist who is also qualified as a music therapist explore some of the ways in which music therapy and medical ethnomusicology might engage a dialogue that is helpful to expanding thinking and practice in both fields. We begin by describing music therapy and outlining some core concepts of therapeutic work. We then discuss ethnomusicology and reflect on the ways in which music therapy and ethnomusicology may complement one another in the field of medical ethnomusicology. We consider how an exploration of concepts informing cultural safety might be enacted in healthcare through the use of music and whether this might serve as a useful joint future enterprise between music therapists and medical ethnomusicologists. Finally we explain why we encourage medical ethnomusicologists to cease attempts to become applied therapeutic practitioners without further therapy skills training. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Voices: a world forum for music therapy, 15(3), p. 1-16 | Publisher: | Uni Health, The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre | Place of Publication: | Norway | ISSN: | 1504-1611 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 190408 Music Therapy | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 420103 Music therapy | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 950101 Music | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 130102 Music | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
