Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction The development of music therapy in the Czech Republic is closely connected with the development of other arts therapies (AsTs). This cross-sectional study aims to provide a research-based description of the current state of Czech music therapy and offer comparisons with other AsTs. Method Data were obtained through a modified version of “The Practice in Arts Therapies” questionnaire, which was distributed to arts therapists registered with professional associations in the Czech Republic. From the total sample (N = 144), there were 50 music therapists. The remainder of the sample were drama, dance movement, art therapists, and combinations of these therapies (N = 94). Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed relating to work environment, client groups, and preferred therapeutic trends. Results Czech music therapy is closely connected to working with special needs populations in social care and educational environments. Practitioners follow humanistic, active/directive and artistic/creative trends. Significant differences were found between music therapists and other arts therapists with regard to the client populations (in their age and type of needs), and therapeutic trends. Discussion Czech music therapy has strengths in the area of special needs, but it will be important to achieve further growth, especially in health care. This may have a crucial impact on the formation of a common legislative framework for art therapists. We recommend repeating this survey in the future to see how the university-based program for music therapy will have influenced the profession.

捷克共和国基于研究的音乐疗法地图：与其他艺术疗法的比较

摘要引言音乐疗法在捷克共和国的发展与其他艺术疗法的发展密切相关。这项横断面研究旨在对捷克音乐治疗的现状进行基于研究的描述，并与其他AsT进行比较。方法通过修改版的“艺术治疗实践”问卷获得数据，该问卷被分发给在捷克共和国专业协会注册的艺术治疗师。从总样本（N=144）中，有50名音乐治疗师。其余的样本是戏剧、舞蹈动作、艺术治疗师和这些疗法的组合（N=94）。对工作环境、客户群体和首选治疗趋势进行描述性和推断性统计。结果捷克音乐治疗与社会护理和教育环境中的特殊需求人群的工作密切相关。从业者遵循人文主义、主动性/指导性和艺术性/创造性的趋势。音乐治疗师和其他艺术治疗师在客户群体（年龄和需求类型）和治疗趋势方面存在显著差异。讨论捷克音乐疗法在特殊需求领域具有优势，但实现进一步发展非常重要，尤其是在医疗保健方面。这可能对艺术治疗师共同立法框架的形成产生至关重要的影响。我们建议在未来重复这项调查，看看大学的音乐治疗项目将如何影响这个职业。

期刊介绍： Nordic Journal of Music Therapy (NJMT) is published in collaboration with GAMUT - The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre (Uni Health and University of Bergen), with financial support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences and in co-operation with university programs and organizations of music therapy in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy serves the international community of music therapy by being an avenue for publication of scholarly articles, texts on practice, theory and research, dialogues and discussions, reviews and critique. Publication of the journal is based on the collaboration between the music therapy communities in the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and the three Baltic Countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This international but still regional foundation offers a platform for development of communication with the broader international community of music therapy. Scholars from all over the world are welcomed to write in the journal. Any kind of scholarly articles related to the field of music therapy are welcomed. All articles are reviewed by two referees and by the editors, to ensure the quality of the journal. Since the field of music therapy is still young, we work hard to make the review process a constructive learning experience for the author. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy does not step aside from active engagement in the development of the discipline, in order to stimulate multicultural, meta-theoretical and philosophical discussions, and new and diverse forms of inquiry. The journal also stimulates reflections on music as the medium that defines the discipline. Perspectives inspired by musicology and ethnomusicology are therefore welcomed.
