Monitoring music therapy in Austria
A longitudinal national survey study on the professional situation of music therapists
Background
Since 2009, music therapy in Austria has been regulated by the Music Therapy Act. All working music therapists must be registered and therefore constitute a homogeneous group, which enables systematic research in the field. Following a previous survey from 2011 by the Association of Music Therapists in Austria (ÖBM), the Music Therapy Research Centre Vienna (WZMF) conducted a national survey of the professional situation of music therapists in Austria in 2018 as a follow up.
From 2022 ongoing, the WZMF regularly conducts (every two years) a survey about the professional situation of music therapists, called "Musiktherapie-Monitor Österreich (MMÖ)" ["Monitoring Music Therapy in Austria"].
