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

Author(s) : Lisa Margetts

Reviews and Endorsements

At this time in particular, in which world events call upon each of us　to look deeply at our experience of intercultural difference and our search for mutual learning and understanding, this book is a welcome contribution to such reflection in relation to music therapy. Its account of theoretical thinking, together with a compelling narrative of the complexities of actual research and practice, offers much to clinicians in this and other disciplines who are contemplating comparable　undertakings.

Margetts has produced a powerful text grounded in an in-depth exploration of the dynamics and processes of intercultural music therapy consultation with children who have complex needs in Minsk, Belarus. The book is both pragmatic and moving. Theoretical concepts are thoroughly conveyed and superbly interwoven with detailed descriptions of practical workshop and classroom work, often told through the voices of participants. Margetts does not shy away from the complexities of the work, but is able to impressively illustrate how sensitive, respectful, collaborative approaches can support educators to develop sustainable musical connections and communication with children in their care. This accessible text is highly relevant and timely and contains clearly articulated principles that will be applicable in a wide range of settings. A highly valuable resource for music therapy and education students and professionals!
