Title: The Effects of Orff-Based Music Therapy and Social Work Groups on Childhood Grief Symptoms and Behaviors
Reference: Journal of Music Therapy 44:2 (Summer 2007) p.123-138
Abstract: The effects of Orff-based music therapy, social work, and wait-list control groups on behavioral problems and grief symptoms of bereaved school-aged children are evaluated and compared. Statistical analyses indicated that participants in the music therapy group significantly improved in the behaviors and grief symptoms, and those in the social work group experienced a significant reduction in their behavioral problems but not their grief symptoms. Participants in the control group made no significant improvements in either area. Results support the use of Orff-based music therapy interventions for bereaved children in a school-based grief program.

Title: Designing Music Therapy Interventions for Hospitalized Children and Adolescents Using a Contextual Support Model of Music Therapy
Reference: Music Therapy Perspectives 21:1 (2003) p.27-40
Abstract: A Contextual Support Model of Music Therapy, based on a synthesis of information from related research, theory, and clinical practice, is presented. This developing theory seeks to explain how music functions to create supportive environments and, in turn, promote active coping behaviors in children. An overview of the proposed theoretical model, including an extensive overview of related literature and research used to formulate the theory, is provided. Skinner and Wellborn's (1994) Motivational Theory of Coping, environmental aspects of pediatric hospitalization, development of cognitive, psychosocial, and coping skills in children and adolescents, and pediatric music therapy are areas of research and literature summarized by the author. In addition to an overview of the Contextual Support Model of Music Therapy, suggestions on how to use the model as a guidepost for developing music therapy interventions is provided. Charts, tables, and references are included.

Title: The Drum Circle Project: A Qualitative Study with at-risk Youth in a School Setting/Projet de cercle de tambours : étude qualitative auprès de jeunes à risque en milieu scolaire
Reference: Canadian Journal of Music Therapy 16:1 (2010) p.12-39
Abstract: A qualitative study is presented that explores possible therapeutic benefits from the implementation of a music therapy drumming circle with at-risk youth in an alternative high school. The study was conducted over a 12-week period with nine students aged 16 and 17. The study data consisted of questionnaires filled out by the students, videotapes of six of the 12 sessions, and observations of each group by an educational psychology researcher. The results indicate that a number of the students reported feeling better about themselves; the group helped them feel more open.

Title: The Development of a Music Therapy Assessment Tool for Hospitalized Children
Reference: Music Therapy Perspectives 24:2 (2006) p.73-79
Abstract: An essay is presented that highlights the development of a music therapy assessment form for use with hospitalized children. Assessment is an important aspect of the music therapy process because it helps the therapist to identify patient needs, communicates to other parties the rationale for music therapy treatment, and guides the choice of objectives and the ongoing evaluation of treatment benefits. The steps taken to develop the assessment tool are described, including determining the needs of the target population, examining existing assessment tools used by music therapy professionals, determining format and content, piloting the form with patients and revising initial drafts based on feedback, and determining the validity and reliability of the form.
