Abstract

This article highlights the value of music therapists undergoing therapy—in particular, music therapy—in order to have better self-knowledge and to better understand the experiences of their clients. The author explored five music psychotherapy approaches: the Bonny method of guided imagery and music (Bonny, 2000/2010); mythopoeic music therapy (Gonzalez, 1992); music therapy group (Hesser, 1985); bio-energy and music therapy (Scheiby, 1992); and vocal work (Austin, 2008). The author wishes to encourage music therapists to undergo music therapy in order to maximize the therapeutic process they can offer to clients in their music therapy practices.
