ABSTRACT

Introduction

Feminist work in music therapy includes a diversity of frameworks, and researchers have explored the theoretical, descriptive, and clinical work rooted in feminism. Music therapists incorporate feminist music therapy in ways that are considerate of their individual contexts, and we believe it is important to communicate clinical processes to serve as a starting place in which new practitioners can integrate feminist music therapy.

Method

We reviewed feminist music therapy literature to discover how this theoretical position is used in clinical sessions. Sixty-nine articles, dissertations, chapters, and case examples were found, and of these eleven publications met our inclusion criteria of clinical applications of feminist informed music therapy. We overlaid Curtis’s goals for feminist practice which included empowerment, egalitarianism, sociopolitical issues, social change, and the client’s definition of optimal health functioning.

Results

We found that all of the included publications documented empowerment and discussed egalitarianism. Nine included the client’s voice, and almost all discussed culture or sociopolitical issues. More than half discussed social change, and half included the client’s definition of optimal healthy functioning. We also outlined the various definitions of feminist music therapy practice the authors used.

Discussion

While this review helps guide feminist informed music therapists in the possibilities for clinical applications of feminist music therapy, the clinical research and case examples pool is still small. We recommend that music therapists consider incorporating more social change in their clinical work. Limitations of our approach and interpretations are discussed.

女权主义音乐疗法的临床应用：文献综述

抽象的

介绍

音乐疗法中的女权主义工作包括多种框架，研究人员探索了根植于女权主义的理论，描述性和临床工作。音乐治疗师以适合其个人情况的方式纳入女权主义音乐疗法，我们认为交流临床过程非常重要，以此作为新的实践者可以整合女权主义音乐疗法的起点。

方法

我们回顾了女权主义音乐疗法的文献，以发现在临床会议中如何使用这一理论立场。找到了69篇文章，论文，章节和案例，其中11篇出版物符合我们纳入女权主义音乐疗法临床应用的标准。我们叠加了柯蒂斯的女权主义实践目标，其中包括授权，平等主义，社会政治问题，社会变革以及客户对最佳健康功能的定义。

结果

我们发现，所有包含的出版物都记录了赋权并讨论了平均主义。九位客户的声音，以及几乎所有讨论的文化或社会政治问题。一半以上的人讨论了社会变革，另一半包括了客户对最佳健康功能的定义。我们还概述了作者使用的女权主义音乐疗法实践的各种定义。

讨论

尽管本综述有助于指导女权主义者了解音乐的音乐治疗师对女权主义音乐疗法的临床应用的可能性，但临床研究和案例样本库仍然很少。我们建议音乐治疗师考虑在临床工作中纳入更多的社会变革。讨论了我们的方法和解释的局限性。
