The paper presents a qualitative empirical research project, research design and research methods used in the preparation of a dissertation which deals with music therapy interventions in children with autism. The reason for examining this issue is a considerable lack of research activity in this area, and thus also a lack of relevant results on which clinical practice could rely. The results of future investigations should bring answers to the question of how children with autism receive and experience music therapy intervention and also what the effect of music therapy intervention in the social interaction of children is; research will be directed to a deeper understanding of this influence and its characteristics using the multiple case study design.

This article describes the steps involved in planning and running a group therapy intervention on an acute psychiatric admission ward. A model of group therapy based on the work of Yalom was adopted as the basis for a series of planning meetings, during which the viability of the intervention in the authors' particular setting was assessed. Following the planning phase, the group ran successfully and an example of a typical session's structure is discussed in some detail in the second part of this article. Some comments about the role of occupational therapists within psychiatry are made in the light of the authors' experience.
