Studying Group Music Therapy with Adult Offenders: Research in Progress.

Department of Music, The City University, Northampton Square, London ECV OHB, England

This paper outlines the development of one aspect of a music therapy research project with adult recidivist offenders. The project is described in the context of the brief history of music therapy research in Britain, and in relation to other relevant clinical research with offenders. Emphasis is given to the attempt to devise strategies appropriate to the needs of the particular client group, which has meant in this context using methods which will involve clients themselves in the planning of research and in monitoring their own processes. The main part of the paper outlines the various stages in the preparation of a music therapy grid, based on Kelly's Personal Construct Theory (1955). The grid has been designed to investigate how group members perceive music therapy and if their perceptions change over time.
