"Music triggered a healing process from within me. I started singing for the joy of singing myself and it helped me carry my recovery beyond the state I was in before I fell ill nine years ago to a level of well-being that I haven't had perhaps for thirty years." This book explores the experiences of people who took part in a vibrant musical community for people experiencing mental health difficulties, SMART (St Mary Abbotts Rehabilitation and Training). Ansdell (a music therapist/researcher) and DeNora (a music sociologist) describe their long-term ethnographic work with this group, charting the creation and development of a unique music project that won the 2008 Royal Society for Public Health Arts and Health Award. Ansdell and DeNora track the 'musical pathways' of a series of key people within SMART, focusing on changes in health and social status over time in relation to their musical activity. The book includes the voices and perspectives of project members and develops with them a new understanding of how music promotes their health and wellbeing. A contemporary ecological understanding of 'music and change' is outlined, drawing on and further developing theory from music sociology and Community Music Therapy. This innovative book will be of interest to anyone working in the mental health field, but also music therapists, sociologists, musicologists, music educators and ethnomusicologists. This volume completes a three part 'triptych', alongside the other volumes, Music Asylums: Wellbeing Through Music in Everyday Life, and How Music Helps: In Music Therapy and Everyday Life.

Either you or someone you love or treat professionally is currently struggling to break free from an addiction of some sort. Whether it's drugs, alcohol, money, sex, gambling, food, or technology, our modern society is a breeding ground for addiction. In Sonic Recovery: Harness the Power of Music to Stay Sober, board certified music therapist Tim Ringgold shares the science of what shamans have known for millennia: music is a powerful, efficient, and effective tool for healing. Combining music, neuroscience, and music therapy research with positive and social psychology, Tim has synthesized his evidence-based practice of using music to help thousands of clients for more than a decade into a compelling, easy to read book. By sharing not only his clinical experience, but his own recovery journey, Tim paints a compassionate and hopeful approach to addiction and recovery that includes both work AND play. There are many effective tools of recovery, but in Sonic Recovery, you will learn why music is not only effective but efficient at helping a person stay S.O.B.E.R., which stands for Stay present, Open up, Be creative, Escape Stressors, and Reconnect. You will learn how you are wired to experience and make music. Tim dispels the myths in our culture surrounding music and talent, and makes engaging with music seem completely approachable for ANYONE. In Sonic Recovery, you'll learn why music is a vital tool for anyone looking to break the chains of addiction, and you'll feel empowered to engage in the four pathways of music on a daily basis. Make it, listen to it, write it, and/or relax to it, but understand that music is powerful and, when not used consciously, can lead to relapse as easy as recovery. You'll learn how to utilize this old friend safely in such a way that you'll want to make it a cornerstone of your recovery journey!

Download and read online ebook Empathy Pathways write by Andeline dos Santos. This book was released on 2022-09-07. Empathy Pathways available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Many descriptions of empathy revolve around sharing in and understanding another person’s emotions. One separate person gains access to the emotional world of another. An entire worldview holds up this idea. It is individualistic and affirms the possibility of access to other people’s “inner world.” Can we really see inside another, though? And are we discrete, separate selves? How can we best grapple with these questions in the field of music therapy? In response, this book offers four empathy pathways. Two are situated in a constituent approach (that prioritises discrete individuals who then enter into relationships with one another) and two are located in relational approaches (that acknowledge the foundational reality of relationships themselves). By understanding empathy more fully, music therapists, teachers and researchers can engage in ways that are congruent with diverse worldviews and ways of being. Examples used in the book are from active and receptive music therapy approaches as well as from community and clinical contexts, so as to provide clear links to practice. This book will be a valuable resource for academics and postgraduate students within music therapy and allied fields including art therapy, drama therapy, dance/movement therapy, psychology, counselling, occupational therapy and social development studies.
