The main purpose of this thesis is to describe my philosophical and theoretical orientation as a music therapist. I will describe a proposed music therapy group for adolescents with depression that will be based within my philosophical and theoretical orientation. This group can be implemented in collaboration with various institutions such as schools and afterschool organizations, or in my own private practice.Collections
