- Abstract
This monograph presents the qualitative component of a mixed methods study. The main purpose of this study was to examine how self-experiential learning through personal therapy that took place within the context of a music therapy training programme was related to the development of music therapy competencies. Semistructured qualitative interviews and musical material from the student participants' self-experiential learning processes were analyzed using a hermeneutic approach. Arts-based interpretation was used to construct an improvisation narrative for each participant. In addition to the vertical analyses, a metatheoretical approach was used to analyze the data across all of the cases. Five themes were identified and interpreted according to the theory of cybernetic psychology. Results indicated that self-experiential learning through personal therapy prepared students to enter the complex reality of clinical practice with a well-developed ability to meet the diverse needs of their future clients.
