This tutorial is a discussion into the use of songwriting methods in early addictions treatment. Dr Murphy discusses the role of music in the rock and roll scene and how music, alcohol and drugs have been linked for centuries. Looking at the work of Baker, Dr Murphy explores outcome-oriented models of songwriting such as psychoeducational, cognitive restructuring, restorative songwriting and the therapeutic process.
Looking at how best to match clients' goals as they emerge, Dr Murphy also covers experience-oriented models of songwriting and discusses how to go about this with workbook examples for you to try. The stages of change model is presented as a process that clients undergo as part of their addiction rehabilitation followed by a discussion of the 12 step program and how the songwriting methods discussed can align with the first 3 steps of the program.
The tutorial closes with a summary, extra resources to provide you with further reading and three bonus content options to deepen your understanding of this topic.
