MTY 251: CLINICAL PROCESSES II

This course is an extension of learning about the music therapy clinical process with on-site observations that illustrate clinical competencies contained in the AMTA Professional Competencies document. Assessment, treatment planning, clinical observations, data collection, session design, evaluation and documentation will be reviewed as applicable to professional music therapy practice in different sites. Analysis and synthesis of these observations will serve as a primary focus for this course, illustrating a client-centered approach to treatment. Students will be asked to reflect on their personal values, beliefs and attitudes toward client groups and begin to examine the relationship between self and therapist role.
