What is the future of Music Therapy?
In western countries, particularly the United States, the future of music therapy is
promising because state-of-the-art music therapy research in physical rehabilitation,
Alzheimer's disease, and psychoneuroimmunology is documenting the effectiveness
of music therapy in terms that are important in the context of a biological medical
model. It has been proved beyond the pale of doubt that certain music therapy
models have conclusive treatment benefits for specific problems.
Music therapy is finally being recognized globally. Newer concepts are emerging by
the day, new vistas are beckoning and a whole new breed of therapists and new
music therapy curricula are being forged by the minute. The future is exciting and
alluring for anybody keen on traversing uncharted waters and making valuable music
at the same time.
