Singing Towards Freedom: An Exploration of Music Therapy Practices in Norwegian Prison Contexts
“Singing Towards Freedom: An Exploration of Music Therapy Practices in Norwegian Prison Contexts” uses Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping technologies to explore the realities of music therapy in Norway in order to understand how music therapy can be used to aid mental health around the world. This project especially focuses on incarcerated populations, showing how research into these groups can provide insightful views into the world of novel therapeutics and explore new and powerful ways for people with state-regulated freedom to receive effective mental health treatment.
