Abstract

ABSTRACT This article considers the value of improvisational music therapy in cultivating intersubjective states between autistic clients and therapists. The authors first describe the potential therapeutic resources in live and individually-tailored musical experiences for autistic people, followed by a theoretical explanation of music and intersubjectivity. Finally, four music therapy cases from The Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at NYU highlight various perspectives about music therapy and intersubjectivity with autistic children. Video excerpts of sessions are included.
