New for Fall 2013

Health care professions such as Music Therapy are coming under increased scrutiny around privacy protection of both clients and students. Because we provide therapeutic services to vulnerable populations both on-campus and in the community, we are obligated to prepare our student therapists toward a more complete

understanding of both HIPAA and FERPA regulations AND to bring our music therapy clinical center into compliance with these

HIPAA and FERPA compliance; Universal Precautions Training

regulations. To that end, you will notice some changes to the way we are offering services to individuals in the Music Therapy Center. You will learn about these policies and procedures in the Orientation and In-service being held on September 3, 2013. It is mandatory for all music therapy majors to attend. Additionally, it is becoming more necessary to offer our students an introduction and basic training in Universal Precautions…how to

protect yourself and your clients from the transmission of airborne and blood-borne pathogens. This training will also be offered on September 3 at the orientation and in-service. Attendance will be taken, as it is necessary to document that UP training is received and updated annually. You need these trainings prior to beginning your pre-internship clinical placements.

TB tests:

Please do not forget to have your TB test from your primary physician or local clinic in preparation for your Fall 2013 placement. These need to be taken annually. We recommend having them done in August to cover you for the entire academic year. Please copy your TB test results and

forward to Dr. Stark or your PICT instructor during first class.

Criminal Record Checks:

Our program requires all students to have a Criminal Record Check, annually. Please note that some clinical sites require additional checks- but will cover the costs of those. Go to www.certified background.com and enter EB20

into the ‘place order’ spot. Results will be sent directly to Dr. Merrill.

200 level PICT and higher:

If you have not yet sent your schedule to Prof. Justice for pre-approval into your placement, do so without delay.

Dr. Susan Hadley is our special guest speaker and Masterclass facilitator for the 2013-2014 academic year. We are so pleased to be able to have Dr. Hadley here with us.

In this experiential workshop, participants will become more informed about privilege and oppression and will gain

information from disability studies, critical theories of race, feminist theory, and sexuality studies in terms of their implications for music therapy education and clinical practice. Participants will be encouraged to find ways to

integrate these theories through introspection and discussion. This workshop is mandatory for all music therapy students. A response paper will be due Oct. 7-11 in your respective Pre-Internship Clinical Training classes and for first years, in your Introduction to Music Therapy class (MUSC 103). Please check your syllabi for details.

Dr. Hadley, PhD, MT-BC is Director of music therapy at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania.

Her books include: Experiencing Race as a Music Therapist: Personal Narratives (2013), Feminist

Perspectives in Music Therapy (2006) and Psychodynamic Music Therapy Case Studies (2003). She co-edited Therapeutic uses of Rap and Hip Hop (2012) and Narrative Identities: Psychologists Engaged in Self-Construction (2005) with George Yancy. She has published numerous articles, encyclopedic entries, chapters and reviews in scholarly journals and academic books.

Dr. Hadley serves on the editorial boards of several journals and serves as co-editor-in-chief of the on-line journal Voices: A World Forum for music Therapy.

“This May and June, I had the

opportunity to work with three

music therapists (Frau Paetzolt,

Frau Lülff, and Frau Gürtler) at a

psychiatric hospital in Leipzig,

Germany. I was able to work

with older adults with early stages

of dementia or depression and

middle-aged adults and young

adults needing psychiatric help, as

well as the adults in the drug ward

(alcohol rehabilitation was mixed

in with the other psych patients,

but drug rehabilitation had its own

ward). The length of stay for the

patients ranged from hourly

sessions every week to an

outpatient day clinic to three

weeks (in the drug ward) to six

months on average, though I do

know of one patient that had been

at the hospital for four years.

In the psychotherapy groups, the

session was usually based around

improvisation, after which the

therapist would talk with each

patient and with the group about

their feelings about the

improvisation, usually digging

quite deeply into their pasts and

helping them learn about

themselves. Each session,

however, was based on what

emotions the patients brought

with them that day; sometimes

people couldn't handle loud music

and would ask to keep the

improvisation quiet, sometimes

they just wanted to listen to

music.

In the older-aged group, it was

usually a mix of improvisations

(with the goal of just getting their

minds off day-to-day routine) and

receptive music therapy (again,

mostly to get them thinking about

something else). The drug ward

had a set schedule of experiences:

Monday

morning was the band

project, where they learned and

practiced a song and ended up

recording it,

Wednesday

was

receptive music therapy,

Thursday

was drumming, and

Friday

was

"Malen nach Musik" - basically

painting and music.

For the most part, I was just

observing, and I was actually not

participating all that much.

Especially in the psychotherapy

groups, the group dynamics were

pretty much already set, so it was

much less threatening for the

patients if I

sat

outside the circle

and didn't contribute. By the end

of my practicum, one group had

invited me to sit in with them. I

did get to lead a session with the

older group during my last week

Overall, it was a great

experience. I really enjoyed

seeing a different side of music

therapy, learning about some

cultural differences in regards to

healthcare, schooling, and therapy

practice, and learning a lot about

myself in the process. I feel like I

have gained confidence and

independence, and I definitely

want to apply what I have learned

to my music therapy practice in

the future.”

Laura Gibbons will be presenting

on her experiences in Germany

during the second MTSA meeting

of the semester- September 23, 5

PM in the MTC.
