Abstract: In introducing this paper on the Documentary Information and Communications System which has been developed over the last two and a half years in the Netherlands, I find it difficult to hide the excitement and enthusiasm I feel for this project and for the men who have pioneered such an important development for music therapy. I have been to four different presentations by Pieter and Frans and recently spent time in the Netherlands with them discussing how the system can be established in the UK and how it is being established in other countries. The tremendous value of this resource to music therapy is almost incalculable. Communication is one of the most fundamental elements in music therapy practice, and the essence of this paper is in describing a process by which music therapists can communicate with each other all over the world.
