Psychological stress induced by acculturation, or the process of assimilating from a minority group culture to a dominant majority group culture. Acculturative stress can manifest from many difficulties of acculturation including incompatible cultural values, language difficulties, familial strain, loss of identity, and discrimination. Music therapy-A clinical and evidence-based therapeutic intervention program utilized for a variety of mental and physical health issues (AMTA, 2013). One partaking in music therapy may listen to, dance to and/or analyze music; one might learn about various kinds of music; one might learn how to play and perform various kinds of music; and one may even learn to write music within various genres. Culture-focused music therapy-I have defined this term as a therapeutic intervention program wherein individuals interact with the music associated with their heritage ethnic identity. The music interaction would be similar to that which exists in standard music therapy programs (see above) however there would be a greater emphasis on cultural education and empowerment through learning about and partaking in music from one's own historical ethnic background. In this construct, the intervention affects healing on multiple levels: through the use of music engagement, as well as heritage ethnic cultural education and empowerment.
