Abstract: The increasing dominance of medically oriented metaphors for contemporary psychotherapy has led to a need for alternative images to sustain and enliven the psyche in its movement toward individuation. The authors present musical images both as psychological content and as guides for clinical process, pointing toward a deeper and broader conception of the entire psychotherapeutic enterprise. Clinical applications are provided, including examples of creatively employing music in psychotherapy with individual adolescent and adult clients, couples and groups, and culturally diverse populations.
