Abstract
Abstract
While stakeholders provide invaluable perspectives about music therapy, particularly through the lens of their expertise as participants in music therapy encounters, their perspectives are rarely amplified in the context of full participation in research teams. In support of stakeholder participation in music therapy research, this article introduces and explores ethical considerations related to co-authorship. These ethical considerations are approached in three ways: (1) describing how co-authorship has been undertaken with music therapy stakeholders, specifically disabled children and adults, in a range of contexts, (2) Identifying ethical considerations related to our team’s own research project (Devlin, K., Johnston, M., & Johnston, C. [2024]. Making mistakes together: therapy participant, parent, and therapist perspectives on music therapy in two different settings. Music Therapy Perspectives) with two coauthors who are also stakeholders, and (3) providing guidelines for music therapists interested in coauthoring research with stakeholders. In doing so, the importance of co-authorship as an accessible, equitable research practice is emphasized.
