10am-1pm, online via zoom - What is a psychodynamic approach in music therapy when working with people with learning disabilities? Why use a psychodynamic approach when working with people with learning disabilities? If a music therapist uses a psychodynamic approach to understand the work does it matter if the person with learning disabilities is not aware of this, or has not explicitly consented to this approach? Can the person with learning disabilities be empowered to take ownership of their therapy if they did not choose the approach? Whose therapy is it? These are some of the questions which arose in relation to my day-to-day clinical work when working with young adults with learning disabilities and were the starting point for my research project.
