Περίληψη

The following article describes Austria’s long process to get a professional recognition for music therapists. Within this law, from 2009, music therapy is defined as an autonomous, scientific-artistic-creative and expressive therapy. As early as the run up to negotiations, the collaboration with universities, hospitals, the Austrian Association of Music Therapists (ÖBM) and the Ministry of Health needed to be structured very cautiously. In addition the Austrian Psychotherapy Law from 1992 was relevant to this process.
