Music therapy is a treatment method that focuses on psychotherapeutic-oriented treatment methods that make use of music in the therapeutic process to promote, preserve and restore health, as well as to diagnose patients. As a scientifically substantiated artistic-creative form of treatment, music therapy uses the medium of music in addition to discussion and body-centred interventions as an in-depth medium for fostering perception, expression, communication and behaviour.
It is used on the basis of the therapeutic relationship as well as specific indications in humans of all age groups in different practice fields of psychology, medicine, special education and rehabilitation, in outpatient practice as well as in areas of music pedagogy and animation, prevention and mental health.
Educational programme Music Therapy, MAS in Clinical Music Therapy, as well as various further and continuing education courses for practising music therapists are offered in the area of Music Therapy Plus at ZHdK. The teaching language for these programmes is German.
