Research in Music Therapy; perspectives for the '90s

Abstract: The paper will address several issues that beset the music therapy researcher. Music therapy research will be placed in its historical context, its relationship to other treatment methods and its position in the development of the profession. A review will be made of the research of the '80s with particular reference to British research. Some examples of specific research will be cited. The paper will highlight some of the methodological questions facing the music therapy researcher: outcome/process; subjective/objective; quantity/quality; science/art; group/individual etc. The main part of the paper will begin to predict in what ways music therapy research may develop during the '90s with an emphasis on the interaction between many kinds of approach. Are there models from within music therapy itself? This paper will be published by the BSMT late l992, price on application.
