Malaysian Psychology Centre (MPC) is providing a talk on Vocal Psychotherapy and would like to invite everyone who interested to join and get a certification!

If you think psychotherapy is only for those who has mental problems, you would probably wrong. Music therapy is offering treatment for a variety of psychological and physical problems, from strokes to autism and for people young and old. Music therapy has been a formal professional discipline for 59 years. You will experience the power of music, songs and vocal which is widely used instruments in therapeutic process. With over 20 years of research, vocal therapy opens enormous possibilities for personal change and growth by using a new, voice-based model of psychotherapy where the sounds of the voice are expressed, listened and interpreted in order to access unconscious aspects of the self and retrieve memories, images and feelings from the past. This therapy also works with trauma survivors.

This talk is facilitated by experienced psychologist and writer-facilitator, Dr. Diane Austin from New York who has maintained a private practice in Music Psychotherapy with a focus on the voice and improvisation for over 20 years. She was the founder and Director of the Music Therapy Program for Adolescents in Foster Care at Turtle Bay Music School in New York City and is an associate professor in the graduate music therapy program at New York University where she teaches vocal improvisation, leads music therapy groups and supervises students. Dr. Austin has been published in numerous professional journals and texts and her work has been translated into several languages. She teaches throughout the United States and leads workshops and lectures internationally. She is also the Director of The Music Psychotherapy Center in New York City where she offers a two year advanced training course in Vocal Psychotherapy.

This workshop will provide opportunities for participants to experience the power of music and the voice in In Depth Music Psychotherapy. You will explore the use of breath, tone and music improvisation through exercises and activities and learn some of the ways in which listening and playing music can facilitate the therapeutic process by enabling clients to gain access to their spontaneous and authentic selves. Diane will demonstrate “Vocal Holding Techniques” and play examples of the ways in which these techniques work to help clients recover split off, dissociated aspects of themselves. These dissociated aspects of the personality can then be related to and gradually integrated through music and verbal processing, resulting in a more complete, cohesive sense of self and identity.
