Review of the Journal of British Music Therapy: 1987-91  p6 - p11

Judith Webster

Abstract

The last few years have seen a change in both the identity and format of the Journal of British Music Therapy.  This review looks at the present Journal from 1987-91, attempting to identify changes and trends, and any areas which are not covered.  Finally, it tries to assess what the profession needs from its Journal, what music therapists want, and to what extent this is being met in the JBMT.

A Study of the Way Music Therapist Analyse Their Work  p14 - p22

Amelia Oldfield

Abstract

At present there is no standardised procedure for music therapy assessment in the UK.  Music therapist use a wide variety of methods to review their clients' progress.  This paper begins by examining some of these different procedures and looking at their advantages and disadvantages.

A particular system of analysis developed by the author is then explained in detail.  Information about four different clients with severe learning difficulties from this analysis is compared to information gained simultaneously through video analysis.  The results seem to indicate that the author's assessment procedure is an efficient way of collecting information about music therapy sessions with these clients.  The paper then looks at whether this same procedure can be used with other types of clients.  Suggestions for further investigations are made.

Music in the Pastoral Care of Emotionally Disturbed Children  p12 - p22

Dr. Mary Butterton

Abstract

This article sets out to describe some of the content of a recent Ph.D. thesis (Birmingham University) entitled 'Music in the Pastoral Care of Emotionally Disturbed Children'.  The thesis attempts to articulate an understanding at theoretical and practical levels of what it is in the process of music in the pastoral care of emotionally disturbed children that brings about a degree of transformation in the client.  The theory gradually evolved through the practice of music therapy with emotionally disturbed children in a residential school over a two-year period.  Three case studies are described in the thesis: one of these is included in the article.

The particular contribution of this thesis is that it suggests and describes a direct link between the elemental dynamics of music and the elemental dynamics of people in relationship in the context of creative musical play.  This play is then considered as a medium in which transformation of damaged people in relationship may occur.
