Losing and Reclaiming My Racial Identity

LaTonya Summers

“I was driven by the belief that if I wanted to go somewhere I’d need to be something other than Black.”

LaTonya Summers was only six years old the first time she unconsciously tried to be “more white”. Recollecting experiences from her childhood in foster care through to her life today as an Assistant Professor and mother, LaTonya examines how her perception of self was affected by internalized racism and led her to adopt white norms - influencing everything from her music and clothing choices to her speech and values. Join LaTonya in her journey of realization - how all those years assimilating, stretching and pressing for whiteness harmed her, and how, in a world that sees her as Black, it’s about time she did too.

My Black Motherhood

Mental Health, Stigma, Racism and the System

Sandra Igwe

Letters from the Grief Club

How we live with loss

Edited by Beth French and Kate Moreton

Welcome to the club you never wanted to join.

When someone you love dies, it may seem impossible to know what will happen next and how you will cope. Losing someone in early adulthood, you may feel even more alone, when no-one around you seems to have had the same experience.

Our letters don’t have all the answers, but they do have some - because we’ve been through it ourselves. Some of us have written to ourselves back on that first day of grief, with the reassurance that we will get through those awful first months. Others share snippets from our grief journeys - from the experience of therapy, to the power of getting creative.

Encompassing all types of loss, these stories show that there is no one way to grieve. They talk honestly about grief - the sad, the bad, and the surprisingly beautiful.

Grace Thompson

Goal setting and process is a central feature of music therapy practice. This practical text helps you to deeply reflect on the factors at play and set goals with clients using a model developed by Dr Grace Thompson based on a largescale qualitative research project involving 45 music therapy experts from 8 countries.

A combination of primary qualitative research with existing literature allows for a thorough understanding of how goal setting is influenced by both the therapist and the person with whom they work, and the levels of collaboration possible between client and therapist in different settings.

Resonant Learning in Music Therapy

A Training Model to Tune the Therapist

Edited by Inge Nygaard Pedersen, Charlotte Lindvang and Bolette Daniels Beck

This enlightening book outlines the Aalborg model of resonant learning and presents its educational benefits for students of music therapy. The book weighs up the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, and endorses the adoption of resonant learning in training courses for arts therapies around the world. Explaining how students’ self-agency is enhanced by longterm personal experiences in group- and individual therapy, observing work with clients in an institutional setting, working with clients themselves, and undergoing close group and individual supervision, the editors and contributors also explore the benefits of implementing resonant learning within other therapist training programs and healthcare professions.
