"To be authentic as a therapist means to know who you really are fully and honestly. To be authentic in the therapeutic relationship means to know and understand who you are in relation to the needs of the client. To be authentic in clinical music making means knowing your relationship to music, the client's musical preferences and needs and how this affects the direction and potential outcome of the therapy. If I am authentic on all of these levels then I can know and understand the needs of my clients as well as being true to myself."
- Dr. Colin Lee, Director of Music Therapy at
Wilfrid Laurier University
