| Extra Info | : | Musical Soundscapes – Attachment Informed Perspectives on the Implications and Applications of Music in the Therapeutic Encounter Sound creates our first awareness of another, informing us, even in utero that we are not alone. In our final moments softly spoken loving words might be the thing that we most long to hear. Throughout the life-span, music and sound informs how we learn, work, rest, and play. Music has implications for how we interact in groups, how we tell stories and construct narratives, and how we regulate or manipulate affect. Music can also be inherently political, voicing the sound of grief, protest and mourning. Yet our responses to music and musical interests might too infrequently claim our attention in the therapeutic encounter. Drawing from examples of music in therapeutic communities, use of music with children in care, and adults in therapeutic-treatment, and lived experience of being a life-long music fan and occasional performer, music’s place in therapy is explored. The therapists use of self as someone with a musical interest and cultural history is also considered. Musicality’s power to enhance therapy and communicate what might be preverbal or unconscious, and possible contra-indications about use of music is explained. This talk concludes with highlighting that although as therapists we might always be listening, when we pay attention to the musicality of the interaction, there is more to be heard. |
