    Adding humour to the music therapist’s tool-kit: Reflections on its role in child psychiatry
    (SAGE, 2009-06-01) Haire, Nicky; Oldfield, Amelia
    In this article we reflect on the use of humour in music therapy on a children’s psychiatric unit. We review the current literature and, by providing detailed case vignettes, identify four characteristics of humour in music therapy in this context as well as listing the main functions of humour here. We find that humour is a highly subjective experience and that due consideration of the intention behind any use of humour by the music therapist is crucial. Awareness and attunement to one’s client are considered vital when dealing with such a powerful multi-faceted phenomenon.

    Development and implementation of the CIRCLE Framework
    (Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-12) Maciver, Donald; Hunter, Cathleen; Adamson, Amanda; Grayson, Zoe; Forsyth, Kirsty; McLeod, Iona
    We report the implementation of a new framework supporting teacher practice for inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. Eight schools in one Scottish authority took part. Questionnaire, focus group and interview data were gathered. Results indicated that the framework was well-received and provided a useful resource for class teachers. The framework was perceived as a feasible method for supporting teachers and related personnel to think systematically about key issues relating to children with disabilities in the classroom. It was suggested that provision of a common language was supportive of collaborative working. Areas for revision included a system of navigation and simplification in the framework manual.
