Within the framework of qualitative inquiry, Nicki Cohen sets out to present an intimate exploration of four advanced methods of music therapy practice. Posing a series of several questions to four experts Cohen concisely presents each method’s initial development, how it has adapted over time to current practice, and finally, what the future of the method may become as it pertains to the field of music therapy. She presents her own journey in achieving advanced competency and the personal journeys of each founding person of the respective methods. The book is a gentle call for educators to inspire student exploration of their own intrapersonal relationships with music and how this exploration may influence the pursuance of advanced method training.

Lars Ole Bonde considers musical imagery in the context of music therapy sessions and focuses on the Bonny Method of guided imagery and music as a well-documented example of music imagery. While Bonde mainly focuses on listening in clinical settings, he argues that imagery listening should be seen as a health resource in everyday listening settings. Taking in perspectives from neuroaffective theory, Bonde analyzes clinical material and evidence from the analysis of EEG data and shows how music therapy theory—as a specific tradition within musicology—can contribute to research in music listening through a greater understanding of multimodal imagery in such listening.

Music And Imagery

Listening to music is an everyday experience for most people. In music therapy music listening can be used to support many therapeutic goals. This chapter presents an overview of methods used in receptive music therapy that are supported by research literature, including music-assisted relaxation, music and imagery, and Guided Imagery and Music (Bonny Method). Salient features of each approach are outlined and supported with evidence-based research. Elements of music used in relaxation and imagery are discussed in some further depth to highlight the need for greater transparency when reporting the effect of recorded and live music in receptive music therapy.

Guided Imagery and Music is a model of music therapy developed by Dr. Helen Bonny in the 1960-1970’s. Research into the Bonny Method of GIM has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms involved when music evokes the imagination, enhances mood, and supports transformative experiences. Studies adopting qualitative approaches demonstrate the link between music elements and types of imagery responses, and EEG studies indicate possible pathways when music stimulates discrete areas of the brain.

This article explores the use of music and imagery in the music therapy literature beyond the scope of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), or solely its use in music and imagery for relaxation. The majority of music therapy literature exploring the use of music and imagery is specific to the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music and linked to the practice of utilizing music and imagery for relaxation. Through reviewing music therapy literature that identifies how music and imagery are embedded in other music therapy methods, this article will incorporate clinical case illustrations from the author’s clinical practice that further demonstrate how the use of music and imagery are utilized in other music therapy methods. These clinical case illustrations include explorations of the use of music and imagery in group music therapy sessions, exemplifying its use in discussion and improvisation. Keywords: music, imagery, clinical practiceGermanMusic and Imagery in der klinischen musiktherapeutischen PraxisAnnie HeiderscheidtDieser Artikel untersucht, wie Music and Imagery in der musiktherapeutischen Literatur jenseits der Bonny Methode der Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) angewendet wird, oder alsalleinige Verwendung zur Entspannung.

Abstract Spirituality and psychotherapy are both inherent in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music. This article discusses the integration of these aspects of GIM and the evolution of Helen Bonny's journey in this regard. Included are Bonny's early humanistic and transpersonal influences, along with her grounding philosophy of the healing aspects of music, the central tenets of GIM as she initially envisioned, and the development of GIM theory as it relates to this integration. A GIM case study illustrates how psychotherapy and spirituality work together in a holistic way. Current trends indicate that transpersonal practices are becoming more mainstream in many areas of the world.

 Abstract This article, Part I of II, describes the rationale and background literature of an investigation into a music and imagery (GIM) experience modeled upon the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music[1]. This investigation aimed to obtain an integrated description of participants’ subjective experiences and electroencephalographic (EEG) responses during the GIM session in order to gain understanding into the integrated neuronal and experiential demands of imaginal listening to music while in an altered state of consciousness (ASC). Neuroscience research has demonstrated the utility of EEG for investigating neuronal responses during ASCs, imagery, and music experiences. Additionally, several phenomenological studies have provided insight into the value and nature of client imagery in GIM contexts. Given evidence of both psychological and physiological benefits of the Bonny Method, and given the ever-growing neuroscience literature relating to phenomena occurring in GIM, there are likely relationships between participants’ imagery experiences and their brain behavior during a GIM session. This foundation justifies the use of neurophenomenology as a means of integrating individual participants’ EEG traces with their descriptions of their imagery experiences during a GIM session in order to obtain a description of the relationships between their subjective and neuronal phenomena.  Keywords: Bonny Method, Guided Imagery and Music, neurophenomenology,                    EEG, Neuroimaging.
