Consideration of Potential Informants from Feminist Theory for Music Therapy Practice

Abstract

<p>Elucidating aspects of feminist theory could be useful in developing some deeper theoretical constructs to support the practice of music therapy. Since many feminist theorists have contributed to debates about various forms of representation within society, I would suggest that discussions of clinical and community-based practices with music therapy clients benefit from reflection on these views. I hope that music therapy students and practitioners seeking a broader frame of reference by which to approach complex situations in their own lives or in therapy work with their clients can be stimulated and encouraged by reflection upon and reference to the ideas presented here.</p>
