MU 612
Music Psych Placement III
This course is a one-day-per-week placement at an off-campus facility. Students continue to
acquire clinical experience in music therapy and music psychotherapy with groups and
individual clients, and learn how to sustain collaborative and respectful working
relationships with interdisciplinary health care professionals. They advance their methods of
clinical documentation and further develop their understanding of how to practice ethically
according to relevant professional standards with diverse clients. Students continue to
integrate clinical music psychotherapy skills within a music psychotherapy framework to
structure and facilitate the psychotherapeutic process, to apply the safe and effective use of
self with clients and modify practice to enhance effectiveness. Alternating group and
individual supervision occurs weekly and is provided by Laurier faculty who are experienced
music therapists and qualified to integrate the learning of various psychotherapeutic
theories and skills. Supervision helps students to evaluate and enhance their professional
practice, undertake critical self-reflection, solicit client feedback throughout the therapeutic
process, and identify their own strengths and areas for development as a therapist. The
course is directly integrated with MU601, MU611, MU602, and MU607, in which the
practicum experience will be further explored while serving as material for the case study
assignment.
Prerequisites: 2 year program: MU508.
Co-Requisites: MU601, MU611 and MU602, MU607.
Exclusions: MU603, MU604.
