Abstract: Music therapy and play therapy at first glance seem closely related. They both involve playful, creative interactions between a child and a qualified therapist. Additionally, they are both relational therapies, emphasizing the interaction between the participants as a primary means by which positive changes occur for the client. Few publications have sought to examine or reflect on the similarities and potential for collaboration between these disciplines when providing ward-based services in healthcare. To redress the paucity of existing information, we present a discussion of the application of play therapy and music therapy for children in a medical setting. Within this context, we discuss the informative and practical potential in fostering working models based on shared insight from both disciplines.
The chapter presents the approaches taken in play therapy and music therapy in a paediatric hospital setting. Brian, a case study, is used to demonstrate how each professional would respond to, and work with, a child and his family.
