ABSTRACT

Introduction

To date, there is sparse literature addressing analytical music therapists’ experiences in analytical music therapy (AMT) training.

Method

This study incorporated transcendental phenomenological research methodology to explore the lived experiences of six analytical music therapists who underwent inter music therapy (IMT) with Benedikte Scheiby. The main research questions driving this study were as follows: (a) What is the IMT experience like for an AMT trainee? (b) How does IMT shape the clinical practice of music therapists who have experienced it? Data were collected through interviews. Data analysis was systematic and carried out in two multi-step phases.

Results

This study revealed that IMT is intense, challenging, and transformative, and shaped music therapists’ clinical skills in several ways. The following themes emerged: (a) Celebrating skill development through experiencing challenging situations, (b) the experiential process as a path towards therapist self-awareness, (c) the value of music in the therapeutic process, (d) the non-hierarchical learning environment, (e) trust, and (f) the importance of recordings and log writing to integrate learning.

Discussion

The impacts upon music therapists’ clinical skills were vast and rich, suggesting that learning through self-experience is deeply meaningful. This, coupled with the significance of the trainer’s physical presence throughout the process, led to the following recommendations to music therapy training programs: programs should incorporate authentic self-experiences with music; the field should create competencies for music therapy supervisors, and provide training to supervisors; and professors/supervisors should increase opportunities for students/supervisees to have live observation of their clinical work to enhance their supervision experience.

间音乐疗法对体验过音乐疗法的音乐治疗师的影响

摘要

介绍

迄今为止，很少有文献涉及分析音乐治疗师在分析音乐治疗（AMT）培训中的经验。

方法

这项研究结合了先验现象学研究方法，以探索六位分析音乐治疗师的生活经历，他们与Benedikte Scheiby进行了音乐间治疗（IMT）。推动这项研究的主要研究问题如下：（a）AMT学员的IMT体验如何？（b）IMT如何影响经历过音乐治疗师的临床实践？数据是通过访谈收集的。数据分析是系统的，分两个步骤进行。

结果

这项研究表明，IMT在许多方面都具有强烈，挑战性和变革性，并且塑造了音乐治疗师的临床技能。出现了以下主题：（a）通过经历具有挑战性的情况来庆祝技能发展；（b）体验过程作为通往治疗师自我意识的途径；（c）音乐在治疗过程中的价值；（d）非等级制度学习环境，（e）信任和（f）记录和日志写作对整合学习的重要性。

讨论

对音乐治疗师的临床技能的影响是巨大而丰富的，这表明通过自我经验进行学习具有深远的意义。再加上培训师在整个过程中身体的重要性，对音乐疗法培训计划提出了以下建议：计划应将真实的自我经验与音乐结合起来；该领域应为音乐治疗主管创造能力，并为主管提供培训；教授/导师应增加学生/导师对临床工作进行现场观察的机会，以增强他们的导师经验。
