Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate music therapists' music therapy assessment. To this end, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 7 music therapists. They have at least 5 years of clinical experience and their average experiences are 9 years after obtaining a degree in music therapy and a certification in music therapy. Interview data were analyzed through a consensual qualitative research method. As a result, four domains “therapist's musical intervention for assessment”, “therapist's non-musical intervention for assessment”, “client's musical behavior” and “client's non-musical behavior.” - and 30 associated categories were derived. This means that music therapists understood the client's musical strengths and needs, and apprehended client's active, reactive, and relational musical behaviors through musical relationships, experiences, and challenges. In addition, this means that music therapists identified non-musical strengths and needs through the diagnostic and developmental understanding of the client, and the body, communication, and resistance. The result of this study is meaningful in providing musical and non-musical information necessary to comprehensively understand clients, and helping the practical understanding of the clients’ musical and non-music behavior. In particular, it is expected that the musical intervention of music therapists and the musical behaviors of clients, which are factors that establish the identity of music therapy, will provide basic data for the development of musical context-based music therapy assessment tools.
