The purpose of this qualitative case study is to describe the in-depth experiences of Korean students undergoing group music therapy. Seven students participated in eight consecutive weeks of group music therapy. The researcher collected and triangulated three data resources: individual interview transcripts, participant journals, and audiotaped sessions. The data were analyzed using the case study method and peer debriefing was conducted for trustworthiness. The four emergent themes and six categories were as follows: (1) Discovering one's self (categories: what it means to be "me," learning about self), (2) Inside group music therapy (categories: various responses to experiencing non-directive group, two different sides of experiencing silence, feeling a sense of safety and acceptance, sharing difficult experience with one's own family), (3) Musical experience as a way to explore emotions, and (4) What learned through books became real. The results indicated that the student therapists' experiences were linked to their personal development, unique experience of group music therapy dynamics, musical experience as an emotional container, and clinical development. Finally, it is recommended that cultural adaptations are made by providing both structure and space for Korean students to express themselves.
本定性案例研究的目的是描述韩国学生接受团体音乐治疗的深入体验。七名学生连续八周参加团体音乐治疗。研究者收集了三种数据资源并进行三角互证：个人访谈记录、参与者日志和治疗过程录音。采用案例研究方法对数据进行分析，并通过同行汇报确保研究的可信度。出现的四个主题和六个类别如下：（1）发现自我（类别：“我”的含义、了解自我），（2）团体音乐治疗内部（类别：对非指导性团体体验的各种反应、体验沉默的两个不同方面、感受安全感和被接纳感、与自己的家人分享困难经历），（3）作为探索情感方式的音乐体验，以及（4）从书本中学到的知识变得真实。结果表明，学生治疗师的体验与他们的个人发展、团体音乐治疗动态的独特体验、作为情感容器的音乐体验以及临床发展有关。最后，建议通过为韩国学生提供表达自己的结构和空间来进行文化调适。
