Abstract Despite the importance of the clinical music therapy internship, little research has been conducted to understand the perspectives, perceived musical, clinical, and personal skills, concerns, challenges, and anxieties of pre-professionals prior to and upon completion of the internship. This sequential mixed-methods study aimed to assess the perspectives and experiences of undergraduate students in the United States at two stages in the internship in music therapy practice. In total, 177 pre-professionals from the United States participated in this two-part study: (1) an online survey and (2) individual interviews with 25% (n = 44) of the participants. Survey results indicate statistically significant increases in clinical, musical, and personal skill development from pre- to post-internship. Six broad categories emerged from the interviews: confidence, anxiety, role clarity, professional suitability, loneliness, and boundaries/ethics. The results are encouraging, showing that the internship is a valued clinical experience that fosters improvement in the clinical, musical, and personal skills needed to work as a music therapist. This paper concludes with recommendations and suggestions for educators and supervisors on preparing and supporting pre-professionals in their skill development prior to and during internship.

Survey Sample

Using national survey and interview data from women patrol officers in the United States, we assess whether women are underrepresented in the upper ranks of policing because they are self-selecting out of promotions. With only 42% of the survey sample reporting a desire to promote, we indeed find evidence that many policewomen are either delaying or forgoing promotions. The most common reason given for waiting to promote was the desire to gain more experience. Based on our findings, we offer recommendations for reducing gendered barriers to promotion and increasing gender diversity in the upper ranks of law enforcement.

Worship Practices

Why do congregations have separate children’s worship instead of intergenerational worship? What connections do such practices have with the presence and work of a children’s minister? Is separate worship with children more common in certain kinds of congregations within Churches of Christ? In a mixed-methods study, we found trends between congregational demographics and worship practices. Our qualitative research revealed that children’s ministers often consider worship choices to be rooted in pragmatic decisions and not theological imperatives.
