Bonde, Lars Ole: Analogy And Metapher In <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Therapy</strong> Theory ...<br />

This schematization <strong>of</strong> the archetypal fields <strong>of</strong> self and transference<br />

relationships can be used as ‘ground’ for meta-theoretical figures,<br />

representing the field <strong>of</strong> ‘Self in a dynamic musical time-space’. This is<br />

meant as a first draft, and an invitation to dialogue.<br />

My idea right now is, that core concepts in general music therapy theory<br />

should be metaphors themselves, containing the tension inherent in<br />

metaphors according to Ricoeur, with the potential <strong>of</strong> bridging the gap<br />

between the clear, unambiguous world <strong>of</strong> technical/theoretical concepts<br />

and the unclear, ambiguous world <strong>of</strong> imagery and embodied experience.<br />

The (living) metaphors should be not only suggestive and useful, but also<br />

dynamic and interactive. (Siegelman, p. 178) I prefer and suggest<br />

“Resonance”, “Attunement”, “(Dis)Harmony” (Dis-/Concord), “Rhytm”,<br />
