| Abstract | Hip-hop and rap music interventions are modern approaches, often used in counseling with marginalized populations, to facilitate emotion processing and enhance well-being. The purpose of this systematic review is to (a) identify hip-hop and rap music interventions that have been empirically studied in counseling, (b) summarize the outcomes of research studies that integrate hip-hop and rap music interventions in counseling, and (c) critically appraise the available research studies to date. Overall, researchers reported that integrating hip-hop and rap music in the counseling process contributes to increased emotional awareness, empowerment, and the ability to process difficult emotions. |
