Intercultural Music Therapy Consultation Research: Shared Humanity in Collaborative Theory and Practice

By Lisa Margetts

Drawing on primary research undertaken in a special school in Belarus, this book provides fresh perspectives on supporting the optimisation of relationships between teaching staff and hard-to-reach children with complex needs through learning and experience based in musical interaction, creativity and play.

The book explores sustainable approaches to intercultural music therapy consultation research and sets out a practice-based framework to which relationships between researcher and participants, based on mutual respect and trust are central. Findings and implications are discussed from within wider debates regarding cultural diversity in negotiating collaborative partnerships in music therapy research.

Featuring case studies and practical examples, the book offers an insightful and informative resource for academics, scholars, and post-graduate students in music therapy and music education. Those working in the arts, psychological therapies, and undertaking teacher training will also benefit from this volume.
