  Reflections regarding Australian music therapy supervision: Guidance and recommendations for establishing internal and external supervisory arrangements aided by cross-national reflection

  by Barbara Daveson PhD, RMT, Jeanette Kennelly PhD, RMT | July 2011

  Although literature regarding student supervision is expanding, information about how to establish supervisory arrangements for clinicians remains scarce. According to results from a large-scale survey in America, not all music therapists participate in supervision. Also, those that do participate in supervision may receive it from someone who works alongside them in their own organisation. In this paper, the international music therapy supervision literature is reviewed, and research findings...

  A review article regarding temporal phenomena within music therapy

  by Barbara Daveson PhD, RMT | July 2004

  This article examines temporal phenomena within music therapy practice, research, and theory. In other words, this article examines phenomena of, or about, time within music therapy. This is approached through highlighting and investigating incidental and direct references to temporal phenomena within the literature. The purpose is to support my view that temporal phenomena, as emergent from the field of music therapy, is currently inadequately supported by research or theory within the field....

  Empowerment: An intrinsic process and consequence of music therapy practice

  by Barbara Daveson PhD, RMT | July 2001

  In this article empowerment is explored with reference to music therapy practice. The idea that empowerment is intrinsic to and a consequence of music therapy practice is suggested. Exploration of literature and clinical vignettes highlights the ways in which registered music therapists (RMTs) use methods that are empowering, and provide insight into the ways in which RMTs can conceptualise their practice as empowerment. Through the analysis of this material, action dimensions that form part of...
