MUT 506 Course Outcomes 1) Synthesize a comprehensive knowledge of cunent philosophical, psychological, physiological and sociological theories and therapeutic approaches for music therapy with persons being treated for mental health issues, and apply this lmowledge to clinical treatment methods using music therapeutically, while taking into account the multicultural needs of clients. 2) Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of mental health conditions, their characteristics and symptoms 3) Integrate lmowledge of and apply methods of assessment, treatment strategies, and evaluation utilizing all music therapy methods to address and document client procedures in mental health settings 4) Develop skills to treat clients with a mental health condition: a) Improvisation skills with individuals and structured improvisations for groups b) Referential improvisation using imagery c) Development ofrepertoire for group singing and song writing d) Verbal skills with awareness ofpsychodynamic processes to promote a positive clienttherapist relationship and facilitation of cohesive group dynamics 5) Develop advanced professional skills: a) Express thoughts and feelings in a consistently constructive manner b) Demonstrate critical self-awareness of strengths and wealmesses and understand the impact of one's personal issues on therapy and client c) Accept criticism/feedback with willingness and follow through in implementing suggestions in a productive manner MUT 512-514: Clinical Training Practicum: Integrating Theory and Practice (1 credit - each course) Course Description: Students undettake clinical training experiences with various populations, in a range of settings. Through the completion of 200 hours of supervised practice (approximately 65 hours per placement) and a weekly seminar, students integrate their theoreticallmowledge of music therapy into the design and implementation of music therapy sesswns. Clinical Training Site: Students are placed in three different clinical music therapy sites, one or more each semester. Typically this includes a placement with children (e.g. school), with older adults (e.g. nursing home), and in the general field of mental health (e.g. psychiatric facility, drug rehab program, etc.). In competing each placement, a special emphasis is placed on 1) synthesizing foundational principles ofmusic therapy practice, as they relate to the client population and setting encountered; 2) applying cunent literature to the clients and settings encountered, with a special emphasis on the constructs underpinning this research; 3) adapting assessment, treatment, and evaluation procedures to these client populations, 4) responding to the dynamics of musical and interpersonal relationships that emerge at different stages ofthe therapeutic process, and 5) adhering to AMTA's Code ofethics. Clinical Training Forum: The supervision seminar is designed for the student to meet with peers and the instructor to develop their understanding of concepts introduced in MUT500, 502,

504 and 506, share support, exchange feedback, explore issues sun ouncling training experiences, develop skills and raise awareness. Several written assigmnents are required as part of this forum. Detailed descriptions of all assignments can be found in the Graduate Music Therapy Clinical Training Guide.
