This book explores theoretical ideas and research on mistakes in music therapy. It also presents a series of authentic case studies in which 17 music therapists – ranging from novice to experienced practitioners\, from 13 different countries – describe and reflect on mistakes in their own practice. \nThis book provides a starting point for both students and the wider music therapy community to discuss\, analyze\, and ultimately understand and learn from mistakes as part of their professional development. \n \nAvi Gilboa (Israel)\, PhD\, received his BA in Psychology and Music at Bar-Ilan University\, Israel and subsequently his diploma in Music Therapy and his PhD in Cognitive Psychology. He has been a music therapist since 2001 in various settings and with different clinical populations. He is associate professor and head of the Music Therapy program at Bar-Ilan university. He supervises many music therapy PhD students and is supervisor of music therapy students and graduates. \n  \n  \n  \n\n \nLaurien Hakvoort (Netherlands)\, PhD\, RMTh\, NMT-Fellow\, holds a BA and MA in Music Therapy from Amersfoort and University of the Pacific\, California\, USA\, respectively. She obtained her PhD in Behavioral Sciences from Tilburg University. She has been a music therapist since 1994 and has worked as a music therapist in forensic psychiatry for 17 years and currently runs a private practice\, Muzis.net. She is a music therapy lecturer on the bachelor’s and (pre-)master’s programs at ArtEZ University of the Arts\, Enschede\, the Netherlands and a freelance researcher. \n  \n  \n  \n\n \nMelissa Mercadal-Brotons\, PhD\, MT-BC\, MTAE.

We will delve into the question of which results are true and discuss the importance of applied research in this field. \nIt has been observed that in some countries\, policy-makers are not paying enough attention to research results\, partly due to the sheer volume of research being produced. Unfortunately\, this often leads to policy-makers selecting results that align with their own biases\, which prevents meaningful dialogue between them and researchers. Research in the music and health field is particularly important as it has the potential to stimulate the development of brain functions\, so we must advocate for inclusion of music for the health of our communities. \nWe will also explore the importance of unexpected findings\, as they may point to important mechanisms\, and discuss the need to be particularly energetic in discussing findings that go against our own hypotheses. We will discuss both the advantages and drawbacks of our findings and emphasize the need to focus on long-term perspectives. Additionally\, our findings will be discussed in relation to society’s use of music and health knowledge. \nRegistration required for both in person and virtual participants. Please RSVP here by February 17th. \n  \n\nThe address if you will join us in person is: \nCountway Library\, First-floor classrooms \n10 Shattuck Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n  \n \nTöres Theorell is a physician. His research has been in stress medicine and psychosomatics. He was director of the National Institute for Psychosocial Factors and Health 1995-2006 and at the same time Professor of Psychosocial Medicine at the Karolinska Institute. The research methodology has ranged from epidemiological studies to longitudinal psychophysiological observational and experimental studies\, as well as controlled interventions. Theorell has supervised over 40 doctoral theses. Theorell is now research consultant at the Institute for Psychosocial Factors and Health and at the Royal College of Music. \n  \n\n \nEva Bojner Horwitz\, professor of Music and Health at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and researcher at the Department of Neurobiology\, Care Sciences and Society\, Karolinska Institute (KI). She is specialized in psychosomatic medicine and the creative arts; co-founder of the Center for Social Sustainability (CSS)\, KI and anchored in interdisciplinary research\, combining quantitative (stress hormone analyses\, heart rate variability\, video analyses) with qualitative research. \n  \n\n \nPhD student Kaja Korošec is a psychologist and a violinist interested in the well-being of musicians and the ways in which music can support the well-being of societies. She is pursuing her PhD in music and health at the Karolinska institute and the Royal College of music in Stockholm. Her research is focused on the roles and meanings of music for autistic adults. \n  \n\nThe researchers will give examples from music/health research showing unexpected results – such findings may point at important mechanisms. \nProfessor Theorell´s four examples: \n\nSwedish twin research shows strong genetic component in association between life-long music practicing and emotional competence\, but brain pictures still show effects of music training on emotion-related brain structures\nEffect of two-month intervention with scheduled every-day music listening on stress hormones in home care Alzheimer patient-caregiver dyads was studied. Results showed compared to controls reduced physiological stress during music intervention period in caregivers but not in patients.\nSix-year oldsters were fascinated by listening to Beethoven´s Appassionata – contrary to expectations.\nSelf-selected arousal music was shown to increase both heart rate and breathing with reduced pCO2 whereas self-selected calming music has less significant but still tachycardic effect although there was no effect on breathing and pCO2 at all. What is the phylogenetic meaning of this?\n\nProfessor Bojner Horwitz will focus on music and health in relation to social sustainability\, inner transformation and creativity seen from students´ perspectives. “Sing health in schools”; “music and learning environments”; “knowledge concerts” and new evaluation methods will be in her focus. \nPhD student Korošec will present the current state of research in the intersection between music and autism. She will discuss the importance of including subjective perspectives and how the lack of those in the past research has affected how we use and understand music in regard to autism. \nUnexpected findings should sometimes be applauded – they may point at important mechanisms. We should also be particularly energetic in discussing findings that go against our own hypotheses. In communication with politicians and journalists both advantages and drawbacks should be discussed\, and long-term perspectives emphasized more actively. \nOur findings will be discussed in relation to society’s use of music/health knowledge. \n  \n\nThis event will be moderated by Dr. Jennifer Zuk. \n \nJennifer Zuk\, PhD CCC-SLP\, is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Communication and Neurodevelopment Lab at Boston University. She is a clinical researcher working at the intersection of music cognition\, developmental cognitive neuroscience\, speech-language pathology\, and education. Her research examines relationships between music\, language\, and the brain in early childhood with an interest in the potential for music to facilitate language development in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. \n\n  URL:https://iammonline.com/event/swedish-perspectives/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://iammonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unnamed.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
