Resonance is often used to characterize relationships, but it is a
complex concept that explains quite different physical,
physiological and psychological processes. With the aim of gaining
deeper insight into the concept of resonance, a group of ten music
therapy researchers, all colleagues, embarked on a joint journey of
exploration. This included an aim of letting the internal learning
process be disseminated in a way that could give others insight, not
only from the findings, but also from the process. Findings include
a dual understanding of resonance as (1) a visible and ordered
phenomenon consisting of physical vibrations and acoustic
sounding that offers a clear logic, and (2) a metaphorical
conceptualization used to describe and understand complex
psychological processes of human relationships. The process of
collaborative writing led to the discovery or development of a ninestep
procedure including different collaborative resonant writing
procedures and musical improvisation, as well as of a series of
metaphors to explain therapeutic interaction, resonant learning and
ways of resonant exploration.
