mental health COUNSELING for musicians (hip hop therapy

Tyson’s (1998) original model has evolved into a theoretical framework with significant global resonance, much like the culture itself. Hip Hop therapy refers to the purposeful use of Hip Hop culture in a therapeutic relationship, and it operates in the context of a co-constructed treatment plan with specific goals and measurable outcomes. Hip Hop Therapy is a revolutionary approach to mental health treatment that espouses the profound impact of Hip Hop culture and its capacity to promote individual and communal transformation. It embodies a wide array of interventions that mix the inherently cathartic components of Hip Hop culture with various well-established treatment modalities, from music, poetry, and other expressive therapies to psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, and narrative therapy (Hall,2016).
