Abstract
Building on themes discussed in recent literature published by UK music therapists (see references), this round table will feature a structured, open dialogue amongst a panel of leading UK music therapists, trainers and researchers in which the audience will also be invited to participate.
Considering the identity and role of music therapy in the UK and its connection to the wider European context, the following questions will be posed as a starting point for discussion:
1. What stage have we reached in the development of our profession?
2. What is our role as specialist arts and health practitioners within the wider social, cultural and political context and changes in that?
3. How can we best identify and explain our work to others both individually and as a profession, taking account of the range of our work and diversity of approaches?
4. What are the opportunities and challenges for the profession moving forward?
5. What mutual learning, un-learning and re-learning might there be through exchanging perspectives, practices, and experiences within a wider international context?
