Description
The Music and Imagery Association of Australia (MIAA) Inc. was established in 1994, with Dr Helen Bonny as the patroness. The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) was founded by Dr. Bonny, a music therapist, at the Baltimore Psychiatric Institute, USA, in the 1970s.
The Music and Imagery Association of Australia (MIAA) Inc. became an Association Member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) in 2000.
The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music is a process of music psychotherapy in which music and imagery experiences are used to bring about therapeutic change. The process involves a client listening to specifically programmed classical music, and experiencing visual imagery, feeling states and body responses as evoked by the music. The therapist engages the client in a dialogue to enhance the experience of the imagery, and to assist the client’s search for creative solutions to unresolved issues.
