Περίληψη

There are reservations against and strong arguments for the academic training of music therapists in Europe. I want to follow some of these pros and cons as a thesis and antithesis to finally reach a synthesis for needs and visions of academic training of music therapists in Europe. You will certainly notice that I am strongly in favour of the academic training of music therapists. However, my aim is to understand and consider the considerations of those who are against this as well.
