Music Therapy and Mindfulness: Treating Women With Addiction in a Therapeutic Community
Abstract
This paper describes a 12-week music therapy group for women residing in a therapeutic community. The group combined music experiences with elements of mindfulness as a means of helping participants learn how to stay focused in the moment as well as gain a deeper understanding of the principles and how to use the traditional AA slogans in the maintenance of their sobriety. Goals and objectives with corresponding music experiences and mindfulness exercises are described. Recommendations for future research are included.
