Abstract: Examines the ground common to music therapy and the psychology of music and indicates that mutual incomprehension of concepts and methods on the part of practitioners in both areas constitutes a problem. The potential relevance to music therapy of some psychological findings is outlined, appropriate modes of research for music therapy are considered, and the potential value that data gathered in the pursuit of music therapy could have for psychology is discussed. Areas of possible collaboration between the 2 disciplines are suggested. (0 ref)
