E-course Contents

We welcome you to Self-Care for Music Therapists, a self-study AMTA E-course designed as a
resource giving music therapists an opportunity to explore the topic of self-care and to learn from
the personal and professional experiences of some of their music therapy colleagues. Self-care is
a topic best addressed from several different angles since we have such different personalities
and vastly different experiences in our daily lives, and because we approach our professional
careers from different perspectives. AMTA invited eleven experienced music therapists to
provide 10-15 minute audio segments talking about self-care from their unique viewpoint,
sharing a few tips and telling a short story or two about keeping their lives centered in the midst
of the ups and downs of their music therapy career.

Cleveland Music Therapy Consortium where she earned
a Masters in Music and a music therapy equivalency. It was there Deforia claimed, This
profession captured my mind and heart and would not let me go. Her internship at the

old boy with autism, a 6 year-old girl with a significant visual impairment wanting to learn
piano, adolescents with severe behavioral disorders, a locked psych unit, a skilled nursing home,
and individuals with developmental delays. Deforia spent her first six years of her professional
career at a developmental center, a heaven-sent job cut short by a cancer diagnosis. She was
extended the opportunity to create a music therapy program in the place where she received
treatment University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. Thirty-three years later she has a
team of 5 music therapists and 3 art therapists. Eighty music therapy interns have served
hundreds of patients there. Deforia lectures internationally, loves teaching at Case Western
Reserve School of Medicine, and has experienced the intensity of research and deep fulfillment
of being a clinician. She and her husband of 44 years, Ernest, have two adult sons, both
engineers. I still have so much to learn and my patients continue to teach me well.
