    Music therapy with adult adoptees to explore and process their adoption experiences
    (University of Pretoria, 2024-11) Dos Santos, Andeline; emilederoubaix@gmail.com; de Roubaix, Emile
    This qualitative, multiple case study aimed to inquire how music therapy can help adult adoptees explore and process their adoption experiences. Three participants took part in a series of four individual music therapy sessions. Data were collected through individual interviews before and after the process, and by video recording the sessions. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to develop four themes: (1) Music therapy affords adult adoptees multifaceted ways to explore and express various aspects of self and relationships; (2) Music therapy affords adult adoptees exploration of the complexities of the adoption journey; (3) Music therapy affords adult adoptees a space to share openly and be vulnerable; and (4) The supportive role of the therapist and facilitation aspects emerged as pivotal. Recommendations for practice related to (a) the role of the therapist, (b) the number, duration, and structure of sessions, and (c) music therapy techniques. The cultivation of an “adoption lens” approach was also encouraged.
