Fifteen-year-old Michaela was referred for counseling by her parents who were very concerned about her sudden change of friends, her refusal to talk with them about what was going on in her life, and her declining grades. They suspected she might be using drugs or alcohol. Michaela was very clear with the counselor that she did not want to be there and didn’t have a problem. If you were Michaela’s counselor, what musical techniques do you think might be effective in developing rapport, assessing the problems, and implementing therapeutic interventions?
