Musical “Tune-Ups” for Couples

Abstract

Some couples seek counseling to address warning signs. They may not be facing a relationship crisis but may be more concerned about where they are headed. Hence, a marriage makeover may not necessarily be needed, but instead couples in counseling may benefit from something rejuvenating. In such cases, brief interventions or techniques may be helpful. This article addresses how musical interventions can be used in couples counseling. A case example is introduced.
