- Title
USE OF REFLEXIVE THINKING IN MUSIC THERAPY TO UNDERSTAND THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS; MOMENTS OF CLARITY, SELF-CRITICISM: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY.

- Abstract
This research followed the phenomenological tradition to deliver an autoethnographic account of my experience as a music therapist working with people living with dementia. My aim was to challenge socio-cultural stigmas surrounding dementia as well as extend the sources of "truth" in regard to epistemological and ontological stances. The autoethnography presented a reflective examination through story of my daily life at a residential treatment facility. In this paper I explore encounters with residents and staff in an effort to better understand myself as a clinician and the therapeutic process. This process included decisions I made, the rationale for those decisions, and the evolution of the relationships.
