Abstract

Counselor education programs must provide effective educational opportunities for counselors-in-training (CIT) to learn and apply theoretical conceptualizations. This qualitative research study explored the use of music as a creative method with CIT to develop their understanding and application of theoretical conceptualization. Four themes emerged from a thematic analysis of the data: (1) desire for real world examples, (2) engagement in practical application of theory, (3) appreciation for interactive experiences, and (4) difficulties with the process.
