Description

See below for corrections to the 3rd edition.

A greatly expanded, updated, and detailed description of objectivist and interpretivist research in music therapy, guided by the recommendations of a diverse group of experienced music therapists. The book begins with an introduction to the nature of music therapy research and its relation to theory and practice. Steps in doing research are then detailed, and the foundations and principles of objectivist and interpretivist paradigms are outlined. After methodological issues inherent in each paradigm are examined, individual chapters are provided for every type, method, and design of research that has been used in music therapy, all using the same outline. Finally, guidelines are given for reading, writing, and evaluating research.

Page	Column	Paragraph	Line	Change From	Change to
11	2	2	13	“disabilities studies”	“disability studies”

Chapter 7, Ethical Thinking

p. 72, column 1, second paragraph under Research Method – DELETE: “Samples of questionnaires, tests, observation forms, and other documents for data collection are included in an appendix.”

Chapter 11, Epistemological Foundations…

p. 107- column 1, sentence 1: replace the word "expedient" (wrong word) with "pertinent"

p. 108- column 2 – full paragraph 3, final sentence - change "context of origin" to "original context"

p. 110- column 2, second full paragraph, line 14+ - sentence: "Such is necessary in that not only are the data unique to the individual participants from which they were generated, but also the researcher, too, given......" Delete the word "also"

Chapter 27, Survey Research

Page 323 in hard copy, column 2, 3^rd full paragraph - lines 42-43 (8 and 9 from bottom), “Question-naires” is hyphenated (correctly) – but apparently this leads to a problem in the ebook. On 599/1407 in my ebook, there is a space instead of a hyphen “question naire” which should be corrected.
