Substance use disorders (SUD) are among the most significant worldwide public health challenges. Isolation and separation are some of the more common indicators of SUD. Even though various music therapy interventions are used to address clinical goals when working with clients with SUD, voicework, specifically, has not been abundantly researched with this client group. Research has shown that the use of the voice has the ability to turn isolation into connection. This qualitative study therefore examined whether voicework with this client group could facilitate connection. Seven clients participated in six group music therapy sessions held at a halfway house over three weeks. The sessions as well as the one focus group were transcribed, and thick descriptions were written of musical excerpts; all were then analysed thematically. From the data, the following four themes were developed: (1) multiple forms of connection were afforded through voicework in music therapy; (2) music therapy offered multiple opportunities for facilitating connection; (3) particular techniques were useful for enhancing connection; (4) a music therapy process, centred around voicework, offered participants an experience in which they could reflect on connection and disconnection. The findings suggest that voicework can be a useful intervention within music therapy to create opportunities for connection to both the self and other. ae2025 Music MMus (Music Therapy) Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2021-07-21T11:14:57Z 2021-07-21T11:14:57Z 2021-09 2021-05 Dissertation * http://hdl.handle.net/2263/80921 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
